It’s tough picking one.
But that’s why I’m asking. It’s easy to do a top 3, even easier to a top 5.
But when you have to choose a singular show? When you’re forced to pare it down? What sticks above the others for you?
Babylon 5 for me.
It’s got plenty of issues but it’s still my darling and despite all the behind-the-scenes BS it’s still the best long-form sci-fi story I’ve seen onscreen.
Edit: Screwed up the title. Bad Dalacos.
Stargate SG-1.
I’m not saying it’s always better than every other show, but it’s my personal warm feelings favourite ♥️
Yeah SG1 is just consistently awesome. Super fun show that doesn’t take itself too seriously but still tells really thought provoking stories.
I’ve seen all of it like 4 times.
It hits a lot of great points. Consistent story. Great characters. Loads of content you can binge.
Also episodes I can just enjoy without needing several episodes of backstory. They do little flashbacks when you need relevant info from a previous episode.
Those are rookie numbers!
And there’s a good amount of it, the story is internally consistent and the characters are likable.
