I enjoyed it a lot in a recent rewatch, but it’s definitely a “brain switched off” sort of show for me. Had fun while watching, but didn’t find much of substance to sit and think about afterward. The “world building” was really just a backdrop for the characters. But I think that’s OK sometimes. The lack of Asian characters was IMO the show’s biggest flaw.

It will always mess with my brain that the DVD subtitles always just said "speaks galactic language" when people speak Mandarin.
We call that "foreshadowing"
