Whatcha watching?

Watched S2E1 last night. We're working through B5 as we haven't watched it in many years. There are a few movies that are integral to the story, including the first one which is the pilot to the whole show.
It gets really good. There are filler episodes, but once on the main story line, it’s epic.
Thunderbolts was fine, I guess. I saw it yesterday and can't remember much about it.
I've heard Veep is great. Is Elaine good on it? Because she's awful in this movie. She can't act. It could be that she didn't care or try and just wanted a Marvel check, like Harrison Ford in whatever Marvel movie he was in, which I also can't remember. Zero effort and it showed.

The movies:
The Gathering (Pilot episode)
In The Beginning
Thirdspace
The River of Souls
A Call to Arms
They fit into a specific sequence with the other episodes.
I'm sure there's a guide somewhere online on what order to watch them all?
Viewing Order
This page outlines the different viewing orders suggested over the years and compares them in detail. Fortunately Babylon 5's original broadcast order doesn't significantly disrupt the viewing experience, so viewers looking for a hassle-free option can safely watch the show's five seasons in the...
On a technical note, keep in mind that when B5 was produced this was pretty early CGI, and in the era before huge screen digital 4K TVs.

Oh yes, I'm aware. I'm a fan of tons of Sci-Fi from that era - Farscape, Firefly, Stargate SG-1, and many other shows.
My SO has every episode of SG-1. Same with seaQuest DSV.
I started watching SG-1 last year but halfway through season 2 put it on the back burner. It just doesn’t hold up as well as say Star Trek TOS. I binge watched Battlestar Galactica last year and it was great. I need to do Babylon 5. Funny how all of these shows ran at a time of my life when TV was a low priority.
Battlestar Galactica reimagined is one of the best TV series ever made. We rewatch that about every other year.
Checking here for watch list ideas, being retired leaves [too much] time for TV. I'm watching my way through Deep Space 9 right now as I am a freak for SciFi. I missed this originally so am really enjoying the characters, clever writing and plot through line.
The Eternaut on Netflix. I find the Faulklands tie-in interesting. The Argentine perspective is not one that gets much air in my experience.
I keep trying that one but can't get past the 1st episode despite liking some of the cast.
Eternaut was excellent and yes folks outside UK and Argentina or South America don't get the references. I have toured with former soldiers from both sides so get the references, had to explain that to my TV spouse.
