I haven't seen it yet, but better than Babylon 5? Then it has to better than DS9, I feel that that seems really difficult, considering that DS9 has episodes like In the Pale Moonlight.
I agree with them, it is stunningly good. And it’s over so you can watch it all in one shot.
Imagine everything you liked about "In the Pale Moonlight," but it's an entire show, and everything is better.
