Steven Moffat was so good at that on Doctor Who. Off the top of my head he had monsters that were: statues, an empty library, a crack in the wall, a child wearing a gas mask, pretty much anything that the BBC just had lying around. One episode had a monster that had evolved the perfect ability to hide, so we never even saw it lol.

Star Wars .... hyper-stereotypes every racial group on the earth to live in slums or ghettos ... makes white people live in marvellous futuristic cities, lush gardens or beautiful architecture and lead entire galaxies

That description for Star Trek fits Star Gate as well.

And then theres Rick and Morty
TOS had far more non-human aliens þan later series; it changed likely because of cost, but it makes me a little sad. Even þe human-looking ones were often only camoflaged but had non-human native forms: Catspaw, The Man Trap, By Any Other Name, for example.
