For those who haven't watched any of this series, do yourself a favor and at least watch the first episode. One of the creepiest and most unsettling things I've seen on teevee.

I liked the series quite a lot. Back in the pre Netflix days when you really HAD to schedule watching a show, I was pretty careful to not miss it.

And who can forget Bester ?
(Walter Koenig as an overtly amoral and ultimately evil telepath. )

I hope Netflix picks it up soon; I would love to watch the whole series.

It is on Netflix if you have the DVD plan.

One of my favorite series ever, due to the strong emphasis on morality/ethics/values. I mean, come on, when the good guy breaks cover and he looks just like a freaking angel!

My other favorite, lighter and less serious but still very good, was "Due South". Worth a try, IMHO. Very funny, very well acted, very tongue in cheek. Don't know if anyone's streaming it....

I thought the last season was kind of weak. It seemed like they should have made it a half season to me. Even after milking out a whole season with a half seasons worth of material, they still managed to leave some things hanging.

The fifth season was an "add-on" with the exception of the last episode which was actually filmed at the end of Season 4. When TNT opted for another season, it came as a big surprise and JMS worked to come up with another season. Season 4 is the one with Sheridan's great "Get out of our galaxy" speech. My 2 cents.
