Babylon 5 is a well thought out series that gripped viewers with its complex plot lines and well developed characters. Science fiction fans can enjoy the changes that take place in the characters, especially Londo and G'Kar, as the stories are told. Viewers less devoted to the series might be confused by some parts of episodes since many plot lines continue through many episodes, for example the war with the shadows or the revolution against President Clark.
Although the series usually addresses serious issues some episodes portrayed lighter sides of the characters and contained humorous situations.
I personally rank Babylon 5 right up with Star Trek as a contribution to science fiction. Babylon 5 developed a universe much in the same way as Star Trek with aliens that had unique cultures that viewers can appreciate..

I see you've posted this as a DVD review, but you've not mentioned the DVD. Are there any extras? If so, what are they and are they any good? If you add to this, or if you change it to be posted as a "Film Only" review, which can be done by accessing "edit review" above the review and changing the drop down menu under the "Which format are you reviewing?" question at the bottom, please let me know and I'll re-rate.
