I couldn't get on well with early episodes of B5 season 1 when it first came out and gave up. Then a few years later I gave it another shot and bought the DVD box set and have watched it three times over.

It is worth the initial slog to catch the cross season story arc about the First Ones, the Shadows and the time travel stuff.

I think what puts folks off with B5 is that some of the sets and makeup are a a wee bit iffy, but the story itself is pretty damn good once you get past that.

I do recommend persevering because there is a very good deep story being told in B5.

My single biggest issue with B5 (which I truly love) is the acting in the first season is very soap-opera like... I mean it's just pretty bad all around. It gets better though.
