Looking for new sci-fi/fantasy/action series to watch

[Superfluous J]

I'm surprised nobody's suggested Stargate yet. Season 1 of the original was pretty rough but if you can make it through that it's a great ride. And if you can't you should at least try watching the last 2 episodes of Season 1. The penultimate is a recap "clip show" that does a good job of telling what what you need to know, and the last is a big season finale. Then, once you're hooked on the show, go back and watch the rest of Season 1 though expect some groaners.

Seen them all except The Invaders and Max Headroom. Both look very ... vintage.

You are right.  But part of that is due to the poor quality uploaded videos.  The Invaders goes back to the same decade as the original Star Trek.  Max Headroom is a product of the 80s.  The Invaders is worth watching.  Headroom is an acquired taste, or the lack thereof.  Its a little whacked but has some laughable moments.

As for vintage, try Men Into Space (and a woman in this episode).

Or further back, we see that Post was selling cereal even then.

Battlestar Galactica (the remake) was outstanding.  I enjoyed all the Stargate series (including the spin offs).   All the Star Trek series were good (I actually enjoyed Enterprise although it had mixed reviews).   One I missed, and will have to catch up on sometime is Babylon 5.

What about Doctor Who?

That's a pretty solid sci-fi/fantasy/action show.

I was waiting for someone to bring up that show...
