150% would recommend. I've watched it through 3 times over the years. Can't say that for any other show!
If you do, commit to watching through the end of the second season, before you make a call.
It takes that long for the show to find its feet and the overarching plot to get really going.
And expect a lot of cheesy 90s stuff. Although way less than Star Trek!
But on the whole, IMHO, it's incredibly modern and prescient for when it was released. Far fewer disconnected "monster/problem of the day" than e.g. X-Files, and even those usually still have character interactions that do important world building.
