Warehouse-13 and Haven are sci-fi/fantasy shows with several seasons and likeable characters.
I'm especially a fan of Warehouse 13, the premise of which is basically: the US government has a secret literal warehouse where they house all the strange, magical objects, and in the pilot they recruit two new FBI agents (the main characters) into the role of object neutralization and retrieval. They travel around on missions, looking for weird happenings and trying to help people. The warehouse is really old and has existed in various iteration throughout history, even before the United States was founded. The main characters have great non-romantic, sibling-like chemistry. This show is great for history nerds because a lot of objects are historical artifacts.
Haven's premise is: there's a little down in Maine where families are cursed with magical/dangerous powers they can't control. Usually the curses are dormant and it's a regular little town, but "the troubles" have recently come back. The main character is lured into the town on false premises because she's somehow immune to these troubles and she can help people with them. She takes on a law enforcement job and goes around figuring out who's causing the latest deadly phenomena, why she's connected to the town, and why decades later there was another woman who looked exactly like her who was also immune. The show pretends it's based on Stephen King's The Colorado Kid, but apparently it's a really lose connection.
