Hey Danny, so I know you're a Babylon 5 fan. I started watching it on HBO Max. I've never seen it, but have wanted too. I'm about 8 episodes in and its not really keeping my interest. I've read online that it doesn't really get good till season 2. Is this true? If I skip ahead, will I miss anything important? Someone on a forum has a list of essential season 1 episodes to watch. I've been thinking about doing that as well.
It depends, some people love s1 some hate it, i still say its essential viewing,you’re building a universe from the ground up. there’s some really important table setting,character development and plot that’s all there in s1
also the HBO seasons don’t include the prequel movie (the gathering) the 4-5 other movies that were made during the final season.
its so much more serialized too that yeah you might miss something.
