Review of Farscape

Farscape (1999–2003)
10/10
Top Shelf, superbly written and acted science fiction TV show
15 December 2022
I write this 20 years after the last episode was made and this top quality science fiction show has stood the test of time and is as fresh and interesting to watch now as the day it was first broadcast. The show's #1 strength was great writing and story telling. It's never boring and the plot moves along nicely. The chacters are interesting, complex and often flawed. The acting is great and the cast really works well together. The show is beautifully photographed and visually interesting. Yes, the show has some puppets from the Henson folks, but they are so well executed, and wonderfully voiced (Jonathan Hardy is especially good as Rygel) that they almost seem real. To be honest, the puppets seem MORE real than most of the bad computer generated stuff you normally see now. This is just a great, classic, and timeless science fiction TV show. I feel certain people will still watch Farscape 50 years from now and enjoy it just as much.
