This is the kind of show that my father (rest his soul) loved and the childhood me would also have loved...and for the same reasons. It did world building right and that world was intricate. As a child I would have been all over that in the same way that my father was in his final years. It has a long list of species and cultures that interact with one another and...there is something really fun about that. There is also something appealing about sitting back and explaining that world to other people in the room that didn't watch it from the start. Unfortunately I have a couple of degrees...
