Babylon 5, not a utopian future

Babylon 5 is an epic American science fiction television series created, produced, and largely written by J. Michael Straczynski. The show centred around the Babylon 5 space station, which acted as a focal point for politics, diplomacy and wars.

It is noted for its heavy reliance on pre-planned story arcs over its five-year run, sometimes described as a 'novel for television'.

J. Michael Straczynski was determined to produce a science fiction series for adults in which, for once, things would be done properly: consistent technology, "no kids or cute robots". He started out with ideas for two different shows, one a vastly ambitious epic covering massive battles and other universe-changing events and the other set in a single space station, before realizing both could be done in a single series. It was not a utopian future — there is greed and homelessness. It was not a place where everything was the same at the end of the day — main characters grow, develop, live, and die.

Straczynski wanted the show to be a mirror to the real world and to covertly teach (an idea mentioned by Mark Twain).
