Reviewer From IMDb.com:
It just doesn't get better than this. Farscape is easily one
of the best series to ever grace the TV screen. Even if you're
not a regular sci-fi fan, it's nearly impossible to not enjoy
the intelligence, wit, superb acting, and sheer beauty of each
episode. I used to think that Joss Whedon had the market on
pop-culture fantasy pretty much cornered, but Farscape raises
the bar even higher in terms of its characterization and integral
humanity.
Farscape has it all: adventure, drama, suspense, and a romance
unlike any other. It's an unforgettable roller coaster ride, and
the DVD box sets are of exceptionally high quality with numerous
special features. - bschober
