Might have to give Farscape a try. Sounds kind of like Babylon 5. Minus the campaign part. But other than that. The whole overarcing story, A+ sci-fi, amazing character development, plots, villains, first few episodes being not so great, that kind of thing.
Except likely minus the whole "being the best show ever" thing that B5's got going for it.
