Babylon 5 has never been easy to watch which is a large factor in the underappreciation. Hard to appreciate something you can’t watch legally

It's very easy to watch. When I wanted to watch it a few years ago it took only a few minutes to find a torrent of the full series and less than an hour to download.
It was easy to watch on Tubi (with ads), though apparently as of very recently it was pulled.
I find it hard to believe anyone on this site has a problem with piracy, nor technical nor moral.
You'd be surprised. "Hacker" doesn't mean what it once did, and the spirit of the old hacker culture is all but dead here.
The "hacker" here is a soulless techbro willing to sell more parts to make a buck. Of course, since he has no more parts of his own, he sells yours. Naturally, theres no permission.
You're going to get flagged to death for saying that. Only lassie faire libertarianism is allowed here. Libertarianism is apolitical you see
Tubi stopped carrying all of B5 this month.

B5 has now appeared on Youtube.

Roku has all of B5 - with less commercials than the others
