I didn't knew the comics when the TV show started so I have no reference for comparison. What got me into it was the involvement of JMS because I was a huge B5 fan. I got hooked from the first minute and it got better by the hour. This had some great moments, well written characters and the show was tough at times. I liked the plot where it wasn't an atomic war but a virus that left only the children. I thought it was a believeable story. Had it plot holes ? Sure at times, but what show hasn't ? This was about the people. Because of creative differences between MGM and JMS, sadly, the show ran short. It ended after the second season although it could have gotten further, the groundwork was there to keep it going. But maybe it was better this way because usually the american audience doesn't seem to like post-apocaliyptic stories and stuff like civil war set on their home soil. So instead of getting canceled it simply ended on its own.

Very strange and sad to think that watching this show again in 2025, both primary actors have passed long before we expected and their talents only now available in their remaining library of work. This show had quite some potential, but I believe the changing social landscape at that time was the reason for also its untimely demise.

too oldy tv style season 1 is 4:3 sd, while s2 is usual wide hd. rare discs are expensive also lots of god cursing saying gods dead nonsense etc. lots of unnecessary tiny booby women n sex scenes
