It's a pity that the quality of this series is degraded by the poor transfer to DVD. Looks more like the VHS tapes on which I originally watched most of it in the 1990s. It's unlikely, I gather, that any commercial effort will be made to upscale it to 1080p. Because it is excellent, although I agree with those who opine that much of the first 2 seasons can be watched just once and become somewhat cringeworthy on subsequent viewings.
The setting of a space station permits far more development of all the main characters. DS9 doesn't fall into the trope of other Star Trek offerings; another week, another alien race, another planet. Well, not often, anyway.
Long, well-thought through story arcs are also a consequence.
