What's the consensus here regarding Babylon Five? (startrek.website)

I have the series on DVD but I've never seriously cracked it, only seen a few episodes. Was wondering what people here think, is it as good as the internet often says it is? I know it was an inspiration for one of my favorite franchises (Mass Effect) and The Orville had a cute reference to it by making its main actor the president of the Planetary Union, but that's the extent of my B5 knowledge. So anyway, should I binge the series?

i've been watching some old TNG, and realized Ronald Moore (Battlestar Galactica) was very involved. but, not involved with B5 -- he was influenced thereby, along with the Lost guy, Lindelof maybe. how did Babylon 5 compare to TNG in cheesyness?
