Started watching it on Pluto and only in the first season but I’m liking it. I’ve seen random episodes here and there and my dad rented the movie once it was available at blockbuster. Plus it’s cool to see a show with Air Force members as an Air Force vet. I assume since it ended before the woke era there aren’t any major girlboss moments.

I would say if you are into sci-fi and exploring a multitude of worlds
It is almost an anthology of "what if" parallel world scenarios like Sliders, original Star Trek, or even The Twilight Zone, and exploring those alternate ideas is really the core of good speculative (science) fiction. It is a series that combines elements of Top Secret Conspiracies, Military Drama, and Ancient Aliens. Add on top of that an unknown-to-the-public conflict with galactic brain slugs that have been controlling civilizations for millennia, but rather than gradually uncovering the truth like in The X-Files, we follow a team on the inside procuring their technology for the US Government. I always thought was a cool subversion of the modern sci-fi trope of humanity coming together and doing things for the greater good. No, our characters are US soldiers (or airmen) unashamedly fighting for the USA. At least early on.
Did you ever see the movie? Much of what they did in the TV show was retooled but it at least introduces the lore. They do not go to ancient Egyptian settings on SG-1 though. The team is pretty much always in the woods of British Columbia.
