I think you would like Farscape. It's big on visual metaphors.
Farscape has also been one of the rare shows on TV that combined good plotting, emotional depths, science, characterization, and themes without losing one of the balls.
It blew me away. And it improves, oddly enough, on re-watching. Just re-watched episode one and saw things didn't see the first round. I've cried during this series and it takes a lot to get me to cry at TV. I've also had a couple of "whoa" moments. There's a relationship on the show that will remind you of Lex/Clark but is so much darker, and so deeper - and really gets to the heart of the concept of humanity.
One theme that flows throughout the series is :"do you value intelligence over heart? And is reason without emotion, without compassion useful? Good?"
I highly recommend it. It is "no holds barred, no rules sci-fi". Goes for the jugular on a couple of issues.
