Those are really good. IMO, Firefly is the best "sci-fi" series, and The Expanse is the best "science fiction" series. There's a lot more "sci-fi" out there than (bona fide) "science fiction" (probably because "sci-fi" is more amenable to general audiences). In my own personal taxonomy - where Firefly is at the "sci-fi" end of the spectrum and The Expanse is at the "science fiction" end of the spectrum - I'd classify Babylon 5 and Battlestar Galactica as "sci-fi". I'd put Star Trek (TOS & TNG, anyway - I'm not familiar enough with the others to say) on the "sci-fi" side of the spectrum, too - but with some tendrils reaching into the "science fiction" side. (Stuff like Star Wars wouldn't go on this spectrum at all - it's a separate sub-genre of speculative fiction I would call "space fantasy".)
