Star Trek isn't the only franchise with a mirror universe.
Hercules is one example of another TV show that did it. DC has the
Antimatter universe.
So for this thread we'll each pick a TV series and explain how the mirror version of it is different.
So I'll start with
Thundarr the Barbarian. So for this one the main characters would be the bad guys. Maybe in this one the wizards are actually trying to fix the devastated planet rather than just wanting to rule it?

Does it have to be a TV series?

and here i hoped he wouldve assembled the knights who say NI !!
By my knowledge of Monty Python, I believe the proper response to that would be... It!

He leaves Galifray and essentially becomes the Master. Travelling around in his TARDIS interfering in other planets history to set himself up as leader or to use up their resources.
Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though.
JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

Edited to add: I am also reminded of David Brin's deconstruction of Lord of the Rings, at the end of this rather interesting article...
"Ask yourself: 'How would Sauron have described the situation?'
"And then: 'What might "really" have happened?'
"Now ponder something that comes through even the party-line demonization of a crushed enemy — this clear-cut and undeniable fact: Sauron’s army was the one that included every species and race on Middle Earth, including all the despised colors of humanity, and all the lower classes.
"Hmm. Did they all leave their homes and march to war thinking, 'Oh, goody, let’s go serve an evil Dark Lord'?
"Or might they instead have thought they were the 'good guys,' with a justifiable grievance worth fighting for, rebelling against an ancient, rigid, pyramid-shaped, feudal hierarchy topped by invader-alien elfs and their Numenorean-colonialist human lackeys?
"Picture, for a moment, Sauron the Eternal Rebel, relentlessly maligned by the victors of the War of the Ring — the royalists who control the bards and scribes (and moviemakers). Sauron, champion of the common Middle Earthling! Vanquished but still revered by the innumerable poor and oppressed who sit in their squalid huts, wary of the royal secret police with their magical spy-eyes, yet continuing to whisper stories, secretly dreaming and hoping that someday he will return … bringing more rings."
Actually, I can see that... Of course, I've always found the Southrons like the Haradrim more interesting than the Men of Gondor and Rohan, partly because their kings are here-and-now, not from a line that refused to take up the crown for nine-hundred years or so until the 'King' could use it to force tortured ghosts to fight for him 'to reclaim their honor'...

The first most obvious thing is to have Umbrella Corp as people trying to stop the "heroes" from infecting the entire world.

Resident Evil V; Jill would 'see the light' and join Wesker in trying to save the world, only to be infected with a combination T-Virus/mind control agent by Chris after their battle.

Hydra, a protection agency is taken down by SHIELD (a remnant of the oppressive Roosevelt) from the inside and it's up to Ward to rebuild and defeat the evil Director Coulson and his team of unconfused Inhumans. The show's named after the bad guys, so they probably win.
