I have always wanted to like b5, I have tried to watch it multiple times over the years. I get 3 or 4 episodes into it and lose interest. Maybe it is time to try it out again
It definitely blends action, drama, politics, and philosophy like Stat Trek does, but leans far more into drama/politics. I can understand why one might lose interest early on.
From what I remember it start a little slow, but it starts to pick up around half way of the first season and it’s pretty consistenly great after that. It has been while since I rewatched it though

I feel this. Sometimes I have to remind myself it took, like, 5 tries on Breaking Bad to get past Walter standing in a desert in his tightie whities.
I think B5 is the one where the test pilot goes too fast and winds up on a big alien spaceship?
That almost sounds like Farscape
Like OP said, that’s Farscape, sort of an antithesis to B5. Farscape is action in a ship. B5 is politics in a station.
I had the bonus watching Breaking Bad, of being from NM but living in Maryland when I watched it. I was enjoying seeing all the stuff from home.
And yup that is Farscape, another really great sci-fi show.
First season? Yeah that one is a bit rough. But the payoff is worth the setup.
Hmm give this one a go

While it’s not quite the style of the show, it still a fun way to see the whole station and get a taste of the over arching plot stuff.
Get to episode 8, “And the Sky Full of Stars.” If that doesn’t grab you, then rest assured that the show is just not your thing.
