I have to confess that I’ve never been able to get into Babylon 5. I’ve tried several times starting from the first episode but I’ve never found myself “sucked in”. TBH it has always struck me as political soap opera with lots of makeup.

But as I said - I’ve never gotten into it, and I’ve read many times that it is great. So - I really want to like it.

I think I’d be in your debt if you sell me on it - at what point(s) might I be so into this show that I just can’t stop watching?

If I recall, season 1 is a lot of setup, with payoff in later seasons. Season 2 is where it starts to take off. During its initial run, I found it totally compulsive viewing.
