[There Can Be Only One] What's your single favourite TV show? (lemmy.world)

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.

It will always be Babylon 5.* Great writing, great characters, great storytelling, and the ability to go from light and humorous to deep and meaningful or tragic and somber without any of it ever feeling out of place.

* OK, obviously I would like for something even better to come along and replace it, but I'm not holding my breath.
