When S:AAB was first released, I thought it was brilliant. But then, I was a die-hard X-Files fan so I gobbled up anything and everything that came out of that team (The Lone Gunmen, Final Destination...). For its time, it was dark and gritty; the actors are shining with sweat, even! The CGI was actually pretty good for the nineties, by the way, and I liked the level of sci-fi integrated into more real-worldly elements.
These days, it has aged poorly, with shoddy CGI and melodramatic acting. If you are watching it for the first time, years after its original release, you will scoff and an eye-roll would be perfectly appropriate. But it was the nineties, and all TV was melodramatic and cheesy; that was the standard back then.
This future war drama in space is a wonderful trip down memory lane for those who were fortunate enough to enjoy the show during its release.
