First Series: Excellent.
Second Series: Good.
Third Series: Average.
Fourth Series: Poor.
The reason for my ratings? Judging the speed I went through each series. I flew through the first like starburst. The second I went through like I was going through a wormhole. Then I hit some sort of energy barrier. Most of the episodes in series 3 were a bit of a yawn although it finished on a gloriously apocalyptic high note. But series 4 just seemed to continue the yawn fest of the worst episodes in series 3. I guess the cast and the screen writers were getting a bit jaded towards the end and it shows in the final product. All the best creature effects were in the first two series and maybe they wanted to save money in series 3 and 4. The story lines in the first two series were along classical lines and they were enjoyable but series 3 and 4 it was all this flashback stuff, I found myself neither knowing or caring at the end of an episode what it was all about.
So there it is. Watch the first two series but I guess most will want to know how it all ends and watch 3 and 4 as well.
