B5 is a novel for television, and as a feat of writing (J M Straczynski wrote seasons 2, 3 and 4 almost single handed, as well as being exec producer) is possibly unmatched. Had it actually been a novel, it would have won a Pulitzer. But beware: the version on offer here is NOT complete. It's some edited version and is consequently missing material from single lines to entire speeches. Don't allow yourself to be cheated of the full experience. Upon my complaint about this, Google Play have refunded me.

Can not play via YouTube app on either my TV, Xbox or PlayStation. Appears in my library as do seasons 2 and 3, but are greyed out, not showing a still from the episode, unable to be selected, played or even purchased though the season and episodes I haven't purchased are viewable, selectable previews are able to be played and they can be purchased.

This was the first ever SciFi series to feature a 5 year story arc and this is one of the reasons why its so awesome. This allowed the characters with their own flaws and foibles to evolve as the seasons unfold. Excellent storytelling set in an amazing universe populated with beings with their own values, cultures and agendas. But pay attention as things that you see in the early seasons will come to fruition later in the most unexpected ways.
