Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
On the whole, Deep Space Nine is not great and most episodes are forgettable. I have no empathy for Kira Nerys or the Bajorans in general. Dukat is a great character, but then it turns to the whole silly Pah-wraith. Kai Winn Adami is just annoying and should have been fed to a wild lion at first sight. The war with the Dominion brought in a lot of good, and an equal amount of crap. Throughout the show, Julian Bashir remains my favorite character.
