I have recently discovered Farscape on DVD and I love it. My only regret is that I never paid attention to this brilliant show while it was on television.

It's pretty obvious the people leaving bad reviews have never watched the show. Judge for yourselves--tv will never be the same again.

Absolutely the best sci-fi show of the '90s. I once thought the X-Files was the best, but Farscape knocks it out of the ballpark in their writing. The characters are compelling and none are one dimensional. The storylines are often complex, the writers know how to write a complex adult relationship between the leads where the sexual tension crackles.

One of the most compelling TV series ever written. This character driven story, told over 89 episodes will grab you and immerse you in its telling of a wonderful story and completely fleshed out characters by some of the finest actors I've ever had the pleasure to watch.

My favorite show of all time. Excellent story lines with a nice mix of drama and humor. No other scifi series comes even close.

The best tv show ever. It always pushed the limits. No matter how many times I watch it I find something new to see. And I never get tired of watching. My favorite show of all times.

Farscape ran for 4 seasons and deserved MANY more. Watch a few episodes before you judge. TV will never be the same again.

Farscape pushed the envelope like no other show I've seen. Wonderful CGI, incredible acting and razor sharp writing. This has to be my favorite show of all time.

How long did Farscape air during the '90s? Nine months? LOL. Overrated.

This show has a neat and distinctive look. However, the puppet characters are unconvincing and the feel of the show is too self-conciously weird. It also lacks good plots.

The best scf-fi ever.

i love this so much almost as much as i love weasels!!!!

This show is spectacular! Miss it terribly and hope to see it on the big screen some day.

Wonderful show that was cancelled before it's time!

I just can't handle the puppets -- it's like ALF!!! (but the rest of the show is decent)

Shoddy sets that rival 'Plan 9 from outer space' for crapitude. The lead 'actor' is about the worst I've ever seen, constantly overacting and always shouting. Pretentious dialogue and worst of all tedious storylines with very little ever happening. Right down there with 'Babylon 5'. Utter sh*te for total nerds.

This show is easily the cheesiest sci-fi series ever. It was cancelled once with good reason. The costumes are hilariously campy (think batman meets seasame streets meets S&M). The acting is beyond putrid. Hopefully the Peacekeeper Wars mini-series won't get re-run. Oh, BTW, Peacekeeper Wars is an oxymoron, but to the losers who love this low budget muppet extravaganza it's sounds cool.

Original, different, the highest production values ever seen on tv! Great work guys..

Finally, a change from campy scifi like Star Trek. Complex story lines, complex story arcs that last for several episodes, incredible epic story telling, one of the finest shows ever made.

Farscape is the best show. It comes from true imagination, and wonder. Its like no other, from the story line to the characters. Oh and WHOOOOO HOOOO we got a mini-series!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sorry dudes, this show sucked as soon as the klingon wannabe with the mouth tentacles set foot on screen

I never understood this show but it always kept me amused!

At first I thought this show was stupid and never gave it much of a chance but I watched the first few episodes and was hooked. I had to buy the DVD's and have watched them countless times. It had the right mix of action, drama, and humor. The words they came up with was memorable and drew you into the Farscape universe. The way it was cancelled was a crime against humanity. Leaving fans on the edge of their seat and with so many questions. The news of a new mini-series is awesome and I hope it pans out.

Definetly the best Science fiction show on television. It outshine all other shows on the Scifi channel.

Nothing better out there!!!!

Farscape was, and will be again, the best show on television. I've tried watching other programs but none, with the possible exception of Carnivale, have grabbed and held my interest like Farscape. The writing, the acting, the special effects are all superb. If it had adequate backing by a network that knew what to do with it, it would be a monster hit.

I want to write a serious, beautiful tribute to this show that I love so much, but it is difficult. I want to mention the compelling, complicated, multi-episode story lines, but then there's the episode that is largely a cartoon. That it is gripping, intelligent drama, but then Rygel farts helium. That the actors are remarkabe, but the puppet performances, the sheer craftsmanship of them, are equally remarkable. You can examine Farscape at any level of detail and what you find is a repeated pattern of excellence. Be it an episode, a group of episodes, a season or the whole series, the Story is always brilliant. Be it an actor or a puppet, or a model, or a cgi, the performance is dynamic and unique. From Chiana's delicate shading to some of the very finest prosthetic work going on today, each alien is entirely convincing. The truth is, Farscape is everything. Comedy, Tragedy, Drama, Mystery, Adventure, Romance, Intrigue, Horror, Suspense - and growth. Characters change. Some of them die. (And manu of those get better.) But they aren't empty suits that hit the reset button each week - They've been affected by the events of their lives together; they have become increasingly more complicated, motivated, and understandable. Even the villians are driven by real, believable motives, rather than some silly, unspecified malevolence. I really believe Farscape has been the best story ever televised, and the best told story, as well.

Intelligent Television for Intelligent minds.

Great show can't wait till it comes back!!!!!!

Simply the best television show I've ever seen. It's like watching a theatrical movie every week.

I don't particularly care for TV and Sci-Fi bottoms the list but I absolutely love Farscape! That should say it all...

This is, by far, the most entertaining Science Fiction series ever produced. The first time I ran across it, I said to myself, This is kind of strange, and I was immediately sucked in. It's original and creative, and soon I was sucked in even more by the nature of the relationships on the show. Each of the characters (even the muppets) goes through changes. They don't stay the same like most characters on television. Case in point: In the beginning, D'Argo and John seem as though they will always be begrudging allies, never friends. By the second season, they have learned enough about each other to gain mutual respect. By the third season, you know that they would go through hell and back for each other. And the naivite and fear John feels in the first season has turned to courage and trust in himself and others by the fourth. And don't even get me started on Aeryn. She found out she could be more and has constantly become more and more than she ever thought possible. If you have never seen it, or if you saw it and said, Bah! Muppets in space. Ew. just try it, or try it again. You will have at least 88 episodes (and a 4-hour miniseries) of wonder and awe ahead of you, and for that, I envy you.

What can I say that hasn't already been said? I'll just add this: My husband is very vocal about hating SciFi shows. However, I have him hooked on this one. We watch the episodes on DVD every Friday night, just like the good old days!

Hands down the best Sci-Fi show ever created. The chemistry of the entire cast and the way they feed off of each other has never been seen on television before, and may never be seen again. This is a complete package show, the writing, the cast, the story, the effects...everything in perfect harmony with each other. Thank goodness the www.savefarscape.com campaign has worked and we are getting a 4 hour mini series to wrap it up. Especially after the way it was unjustly cancelled by the Sci-Fi Channel. It is a real shame that the Sci-Fi Channel and President Bonnie Hammer doesn't have a clue how to program REAL science ficition television.

As a long time sci-fi fan I have been disappointed in recent years. It seemed as if their just weren't any good science fiction shows on television anymore. Even the scifi channel was a disappointment, only having an occasional movie worth tuning into. Then along came Farscape and it blew my mind. The show was well produced, clever and inventive storylines, and it wasn't corny. It was very suitable for current times. Farscape was a perfectly balanced show, action balanced with dialogue, uality balanced with intrigue and so on. Even your villains were ambigious. Scorpius first appeared as the perfect evil villain but we eventually learn of his past and now he is still a bad guy, but one who is driven by his own sense of duty. The women were all y, even for aliens. You can't get much hotter than Chiana. But she wasn't just some cute little gray piece of meat. She was a fragile and sensitive person despite her street smart survivor attitude. The writes did very well in developing all the characters, including ones who were merely puppets such as Rygel and Pilot. All in all it is one the best, if not the best scifi series since the original Star Trek. It's a sad shame Sci-Fi canceled the series. I read up on their reasons for canceling it, that it was too expensive to make and their core fan base wasn't expanding. Apparently even though Farscape was well loved it wasn't enough to save the series. The worst is how they ended the series with Erin and Crichton seemingly being killed by some divebombing alien ship with the "to be continued" popping up. I think fans deserved some type of resolution. Perhaps someday another network will revive the series and we'll see if they are truly or just "sci-fi ."

I have been watching Farscape for years but have never really understood it,they change the characters so quickly and the episodes never seem to follow on after each other.

Other science fiction series can try, but they will NEVER meet the magic that is Star Trek. Farscape is as terrible as sci-fi can get. The makeup looks bad, there aren't enough sci-fi plots (anomalies, time travel, etc.), and the tone is so bleak, you would think you were watching a horror movie. And, bad acting too.

Not that great. Overblown.

Stupid show

Wasn't this cancelled?

FARSCAPE IS THE POOR MANS "BABYLON 5" AND THAT WAS A LOAD OF RUBBISH TOO. THANK GOODNESS IT HAS BEEN SCRAPPED...

The word terrible is not enough to describe this show, I would not watch it even if I got payed to do so.

Let's get real it is a bunch of junk, I would not call it a TV show I would call it TV garbage, who ever made up such a show had nothing else to do, the imagination station for this person was way off at the time of producing Farscape, would not waste a minute of my time to watch it.

i am going to miss these guys so much! the best scifi ensemble ever--

I love this show. SciFi is STUPID to cancel it. I will truly miss having it on to watch. Why couldn't someone else pick it up???

I just do not like this show. It bores me. It is predictable and the acting is sub-par.

I struggled to get through the first season, but second was well worth the discomfort. Good, black, irreverant humor. Virginia Hey is as dishy as when I first saw her in Mad Max 2, circa 1980 -even if she is blue.

Excellent Sci-Fi show. Watched it from the beginning. Second season story line seemed a little weird but it's still going strong.

Great show. Great stories, great characters.

Farscape is the most interesting, creative and completely addictive program on TV. Try it: and know the wonders I've seen.

Most imaginative show on tv. It's like going to a movie every week, and besides, how many shows have a leading actor and/or charactor who's from the south? [Isn't that against some "media" law]

absolutely frelling fantastic - the best SF show i have ever seen! the characters are so real so you care for them and they actually develop too - one to watch from the beginning to the end ez

The highest quality in creativity and intelligent filming. Real life characters coping with all life can throw at them. A shining example of what television can be.

Best show on TV. PERIOD.

The only show I sit down to watch. TV is very bad these days and without Farscape I will only use my TV's to watch the news.

Farscape is the first ever TV-Show I have got addicted to! I didn't like it at first, mainly because of some of the animatronics and because I had missed most of season 1 and didn't have a clue what was going on but after a few episodes I got hooked. This show is totally wacko, I love it! Your never know what to expect next, it's totally unpredictable and refreshingly original. Excellent acting from all the cast but especially Ben Browder. Beautiful, highly emotinal love story between John and Aeryn. In my opinion it takes more than watching one or two episodes of Farscape to be able to judge this show because there are some major story arcs. Newbies would be totally lost in some of the episodes but it's so worth starting over from Season 1, I did it!

thumbs down. Boring.

this show i think has nothing to do with life experiences and can't influence teenagers at all.

no real extraordinary plot

Better than Birds of Prey, but not by much.

This is the best true Science Fiction series in circulation. Satisfying good and bad character development with excellent acting, relationship building, Special Effects, unique and fast pace continuing story lines, humour and those special moments that become permanently imprinted in your mind. It's cancellation is having and will continue to rock the foundations of the SCI FI channel responsible for it's birth and demise.

Sorry for you who havint herd the scifi channel canceled farscape. They said they did not want to do it, but the ratings were to low and the show was to expensive.

This show was rated #1 for all of 2002 for all of television by Dave Mason with the Scripps Howard News Service. I can't say it any better than that.

Without a doubt the best Sci Fi show in history, as well as the best show currently on TV. It raises the bar of quality in all areas (drama, comedy, romance, effects, plot, characters, and most importantly- originality) that every TV show should leaarn from. Farscape has a charisma and sense of comradarie among characters that other shows only dream of.

The best SciFi Series since Babylon 5! This show has it all- imagination, romance, action, humor, drama etc. It is a must see show!

A former and still a current Stargate fan, I had seen the odd Farscape and at that time thought of this show as average. The resulting backlash from it's fans over it's cancellation made me more curious of the show. After odering a number of DVD's for the first season, I quickly began to appreciate the scope of the show and found one of the most moving TV shows for some time! Now 3 months later I have collected all DVD's up too and including the end of season 3. By this time the show had taken a life of it's own, even Babylon 5 never reached such character development and story telling! Opening the last DVD set I realised that for the first time my hand was actually shaking as I riped through the plastic covering. Even though I have become a Fan after the cancellation I too feel the heavy burden of it's cancellation. My recomendation: Watch this show and weep for it's cruel demise.

Farscape is imaginative and daring... a program which is not afraid to take chances and allow its characters to grow and change. The effects are top-notch and the storylines are fantastic
