For the sake of this thread I want you to judge shows mostly just on those two options. I'm not saying you completely ignore character,humor or typical drama because those things can enhance a action scene, only you put them in perspective. for example I love Trek but action has never been the shows strong suit so it won't be listed for me. Here is my top 5.
1 Stargate shows. I love how it's contempory humans, mostly using contempory weapons.I also like how when more sci-fi stuff is used in scene it is still being used through the view of modern humans. Also Ronan and Teyla actually brought in a new angle with intresting hand to hand style combat.
2 Battlestar Galatica. I liked how the spaceships felt real and gritty and the battles were very stylized. Also soldier combat was done pretty well and they actually made it feel pretty violent.
3 The CW Arrowverse shows. I think the Netflix Marvel shows are proably better shows overall but I do like the comic book fun style you see on the CW shows. I just like seeing comic book characters using their powers.
4 Doctor Who. I like seeing a show were a character gets out of jams bt being clever and usually not very violent. It's not your typical type of action which is one the reasons it works so well.
5 Ash vs the Evil Dead. This is the complete oposite of Doctor Who. It's very gory and ovr the top violent but also funny. It's a true "Evil Dead" show and I love it for that.
