Space: Above and Beyond (1995–1996)
10/10
Memorable and engrossing
22 January 2010
This series caught my eye when it first aired . The script writing was top notch and the stories were often intense. The characters were well played by the actors especially James Morrison as Lt. Mcqueen. Its didn't have the politically correct fluff of Star Trek's sequels like

Star Trek's The Next Generation and Voyager. Its special effects were reasonable for when it was made but not spectacular.

Anti-war types wont like the show but who cares about those fluff balls anyway. You will care about these characters and will be left wishing that their virtual lives could have been prolonged more than a season.Great shows sometimes don't appeal to the masses or they are moved around in their time slot too often as this one was. Some are expensive to produce and need exceptional early success to pay the bills.

As Emerson wrote ""War educates the senses, calls into action the will, perfects the physical constitution, brings men into such swift and close collision in critical moments that man measures man"

In this series the characters grow and their measure becomes greater as they embark on the missions that make this show memorable and engrossing.
