….Criminals on the Run
"When we think about space operas, we think about Star Wars or Star Trek, or even Stargate. These are the sweeping, grand sagas, with stalwart heroes and clear distinctions between right and wrong. Farscape is not that kind of story.
Commissioned by the Sci-Fi Channel (now Syfy), produced by the Jim Henson Company, and shot in Australia, Farscape ran for four seasons from 1999 to 2003. Now streaming on Amazon Prime, Farscape was a bizarre, gun-toting series about criminals on the run; its main cast featured two puppets, several aliens, and only one human. This, along with its daring plot lines and downright absurdity, made it an instant cult hit, but Farscape never quite reached the brand recognition of its rivals. Yet this show quietly redefined sci-fi—and we can still see its influence on the genre today…."

It is/was a great show that deserved more support. The writing and dialogue was as good as Firefly. I have the dvd set and watch the complete series frequently. Good show, Sparky. |

Totally agree – I loved Farscape! |

I loved Farscape as well. I always found the audio quality somewhat muddy. I agree the snappy dialogue was excellent, but I would often hit my DVRs repeat button because I couldn't make out what was said the first time. Did others experience this? I guess I could have had a lousy TV at the time, or watching with the volume too low. |
