Good premise, alas, poor implementation.
IMHO, it was a great idea, but it was very poorly produced. The music and special effects were terrible, equivalent to some low budget sci fi sludge. I could honestly make better cgi and music using my home PC, and way better action sequences.The characters are good, by comparison, (especially the techno mage, who shows real passion. But maybe that's just the British accent). The occasional B5 backstory, including the allusions to present day stuff (ie, the news network and various Earth bound plot elements such as the Pope, India, etc) that pop up from time to time make it interesting. However, those elements cannot save the series from its tacky, B series production.
Hopefully, the series will be resurrected with a HUGE budget, a better soundtrack (please, no more synth-piano), and way better special effects.
