Review of Earth 2

Earth 2 (1994–1995)
3/10
Hard SF is hard to find
10 March 2018
Hard science fiction (no zombies, no vampires, no witches/warlocks etc) is hard to find. And apparently really hard for Hollywood to do well. Even with that, I had hopes for this show -- the first two episodes were interesting and well done.

And then the kids came in. And stayed. Dominated the next few episodes, along with the required weak link character, the lawyer. And the show began to lose the focus of the first two episodes and regurgitated plot lines and scenes from tv shows going back to Lost in Space.

I watched them all. Almost wore out the fast forward button.

Two characters stood out.. Danziger and the Doctor. The 'leader', Devon, was just ok. The rest looked like they knew the show was doomed and started saving money by taking the bus to and from work.

Bottom line is about 20% of any given show was worth watching and the rest was like fast-food, no value at all.
