I’d say Westworld and Stranger Things comes to mind because I remember reading in season three the original plan was for that man and woman at the ice cream place to get together but they decided to make her gay for no reason. In a show that’s an homage to the 80s a reformed jock with a nerdy girl is a perfect couple.

I think in real life you would have lower ranks going on all those away missions. On some missions they'd have the three highest ranks off ship. I got why they did it for tv, but it's silly.
Captain Picard was also a diplomat, the Enterprise's 5-year-mission was to "seek out new life and new civilizations", so it made sense for him to go on away missions about first contact or xeno-diplomacy in general. Your diplomat goes with a contingent of guards and aides.
But that's only about half the overall missions that they go on.
Sure but even Riker would mention to Picard, you can't go on away missions as much as you do.
