It's full of great characters who grow incredibly throughout the series. It's also full of action, humor, and interesting moral choices. The first season is full of hints about things happening in the wider universe and is very interesting to rewatch once you've been through it all.

The graphics are at bit dated, and the acting style shows its time now too, but the story is captivating and has twists and turns that beautifully pull everything together over 5 seasons.

This is an epic space saga that ties episode one right through to the TV movies at the end. Everything happens in thus show for a reason. And just when you love to gate someone, JS makes you love them and care for them. Thus show has what all SciFi should, soul.
