<p> <strong>Years:&#xA0;</strong>1994 &#x2013; 2007 </p> <p> A bravura attempt to tell a complex science-fiction epic over five years, Babylon 5 remains essential sci-fi viewing even today. The titular space station begins as a hub of diplomacy, but soon becomes the centre of a rebellion against Earth&#x2019;s oppressive government and the deadly Shadows. Twisty and turny like you wouldn&#x2019;t believe, Babylon 5&#x2019;s groundbreaking arc plot and memorable characters more than make up for its sometimes tripe dialogue. </p>
