The first 3 seasons are excellent science fiction. I have a special appreciation for Lexx. Kind of an emotional attachment, which I guess means I'm a fan.
The fourth season, when the Germans were no longer involved, it became very very bad, unfortunately, save for a few episodes. The fourth season is also when they all but abandon the coherent story that the first 3 seasons carried.
But, because I have an attachment to the show, I can even enjoy watching episodes from season 4 again, except for a couple which are agonizingly bad.
I've just recently started paying attention to Farscape, and it's becoming my next attachment. Initially I thought it was a lame Lexx ripoff and was put off by the muppets. But, it's actually very sophisticated and interesting.
Babylon 5 was the previous show I had an attachment to. Season 3 of babylon 5 is metaphorical with respect to Bush's handlers I think. The key theme of the show becomes resolved though before the end of the 5 seasons, and I remember thinking it lost something after that. I'm gradually buying the dvds and am currently watching season 4.
I actually become embarrassed about watching Bablyon 5 in the presence of my girl friend though, because a certain Yugoslavian actress has an exaggerated and melodramatic style that looks weird and silly to someone expecting acting to be believable
All of these are shows that are one story from start to finish. I guess I like that as compared to random short stories.
