Having been a very big fan of the original Babylon 5 series, I thought I would give this a try. The original Babylon 5 was great, had a very strong and involving storyline, and was good fun to watch. Compared to Babylon 5, this series is a bit of disappointment, the storyline seems a little on the shallow side, and not particularly engrossing. Some of the characters are a little bit cringeworthy aswell, and there are plenty of cirny lines to go around. Crusade just doesn't feel that well written.
However, it is quite entertaining and for me fits into the 'passes an evening quite nicely but don't expect too much from it' category. It is quite similar to the various Star Trek spin offs in that respect. Any real dedicated fans of Babylon 5 or Star Trek will probably love it, bu tI just found it lacking in depth.
