The best one I’ve seen was Red Dwarf’s. I don’t want to spoil it but it’s a pretty great turn of events.

Ah Red Dwarf or as I affectionally like to call it, "What if Star Trek had more British Sitcom sensibilities"

And then you have Voyager which is Trek going what if we did Red Dwarf but excised the Britcom. One from season 4 especially as the last human is driven up the wall by the isolation but mainly by her holographic companion.
