It’s tough picking one.
But that’s why I’m asking. It’s easy to do a top 3, even easier to a top 5.
But when you have to choose a singular show? When you’re forced to pare it down? What sticks above the others for you?
Babylon 5 for me.
It’s got plenty of issues but it’s still my darling and despite all the behind-the-scenes BS it’s still the best long-form sci-fi story I’ve seen onscreen.
Edit: Screwed up the title. Bad Dalacos.


Surprised it wasn’t mentioned before. It’s not the genre I like but I’ve heard it in the same breathe as B5 so many times I know I’m missing out on something great.
watched it this year for the first time. It’s in my top 3. It made Idris Elba famous and I loved the character.
