The premise is great. But the scripts were slow and the budget was insufficient to execute the concept.
Short Review: Very slow paced. This show is ALL TALK.
Imagine if the entire episode of Star trek took place in Picard's ready room. What's worse is the poor post editing. Scenes are too long. Nothing is cut. So much drawl.
Lack of chemistry. The entire series and i mean EVERY episode has all the "cops" spending more time arguing at each other than actually working. So much bickering. Its like kids in a school playground except set in space - although they quickly move to a base on the moon to enjoy gravity and reduce the strain on the actor's having to pretend to be in zeroG.
This could be a drama set in a library or the back of a kitchen diner. If it wasn't for the 2 second establishing shot we'd never even know they were space cops. Or even cops.
This show isn't bad because of its age. Its bad because it never got good. Its almost like the writers spent so much time writing the crew to be so grouchy and acerbic with one another in place of an actual enemy. Such a disappointment. I had high hopes after reading the "cult fan" reviews. Nope.
You wanna fall in love with something outside of the big Star Wars / Star Trek franchises, you have better options: Firefly Serenity,
1 silver lining - this show is 99% talk so u can listen like an audiobook. Cuz Visually ur not missing anything.
