Babylon 5 is so good. You need to get over the effects being dated and the sets being a little crappy, but the writing is top notch. Red Dwarf is basically a sitcom set on a spaceship. If you like sci-fi and you like British comedies, you'll enjoy it. Andromeda is pretty watchable, but there is a reason its number ten on the list, its good but there are better.
I see we like quite a few of the same shows.
machinewolfhearThink i start with Red Dwarf, thanks for your quick respond
NotASlayerBabylon 5 is let down by the CGI. Cutting edge for the time, probably, but looks like a computer game now. In comparison, the practical effects of DS9, out at the same time with similarities, have held up better.
@Mr Trick said: Thanks for the comments! Great sci-fi list. Farscape really is underrated.
No problem. And thanks. I agree. Farscape is rarely given the praise that it deserves. It's such a weird show at times, but in the best of ways. The creator, Rockne S. O'Bannon, is brilliant. SeaQuest DSV, Farscape, Alien Nation. All great shows.
@machinewolfhear said: babylon 5 ,red dwarf or andromeda any good? is it worth to start watching it?
Andromeda was developed based on ideas had by Gene Roddenberry (creator of Star Trek) prior to his death. His wife, Majoel Barrett, got it made, and I think it's pretty good (my favorite character is engineer Seamus Harper), but it does get a bit convoluted and experiences a drop in quality in the last season or two (four and five.)
Babylon 5 is a masterpiece. It's a slow burn. It builds to its crescendo over time. But it is worth the wait, and the characters really drive it (though I much prefer Captain Sheridan, who replaces Sinclair in season two.) Give it a go, if you have the patience.
Red Dwarf is on my list. I've never had the chance to watch more than a few minutes of it, but every single person who knows me well tells me I'd love it, so it's a must-watch for me at least.
