Babylon 5 is one of my first fandoms and continues to be a favorite. I'm going to use the template from Yuletide.

Title:
Babylon 5

Media:
Television show (1993-1998)

Approx length:
5 seasons - 111 episodes plus several movies and a couple of spinoffs.

Where to find it:
Available on these streaming services... as of right now. It does change:
The Roku Channel,
discovery+ | Jetzt streamen,
Prime Video,
Fandango at Home or
Apple TV

OR it can be purchased digitally or on dvd form at Amazon.

What is it, in summary?:
It is a space opera
From IMDB: In the mid 23rd century, the Earth Alliance space station Babylon 5, located in neutral territory, is a major focal point for political intrigue, racial tensions and various wars over the course of five years.

What do you love about it?:
The characters are wonderful and range from hero to villain but be careful, because as G'kar says, no one is exactly what they seem. There is little black and white nut rather the gray ambiguity of real life. The five seasons are a full story arc with a beginning and an ending.

Here is a clip that will give you an idea of how good this show truly is:

I really need to find a way to differentiate between all the shows I confuse this one with and just hunker down and watch it. I hear nothing but good about it, but I'm always afraid I'm picking the wrong show when I go to look for it. :(
