Babylon 5 is a show that's good if you watch a curated list of episodes, not every single one (at last for seasons 1 & 2).

Once it gets out of the episodic stuff and into a more serialized format it holds up shockingly well, and feels painfully relevant today. Honestly, a lot of people owe Straczynski apologies after they accused him of being too heavy handed with his politics. If anything, the dude was being too subtle as it turns out.
