Summary: Fantastic!
Review: I do not watch that much TV. But I would gladly buy premium cable if need be, just to watch this series. It is much more than an addiction, well ok its an addiction. Don't miss out, I have all their DVD's and have not regreted the buy or more over the hours spent watching and watching again.

Summary: Awesome show. 11 discs though.
Review: I love the show. It's one of my favorites. The DVD is well done, though not widescreen, but no big deal. My only real complaint is the 11 disc package. 11 discs!! All the other seasons I own are about 5/6 discs with 4 episodes per disc. This has 2 episodes per disc and also has 5 or 6 separate boxes! I kinda expected one total package that folded out like most other seasons you'll find. For all I know there is a version of season one like that. If there is I'll kick myself later. I had to get up too many damn times to insert a new disc. LOL. 5 stars anyway because the show rocks.

Summary: Wonderful show, wonderful product, but....
Review: I ordered Farscape Season 1 in December 2003. Until recently, I had watched an episode here and an episode there, picking my favourites because I had watched the whole series on Space. I loved the episodes, the extras are fabulous, but the cases are a bit of a nuisance.I finally had the chance to watch the whole series marathon style, including a plan to watch the more recently purchased Seasons 2 and 3. I had waited on purpose until I would be able to purchase and watch the whole run. Much to my dismay, I discovered that Disc 10, containing the two part episode Nerve and The Hidden Memory was damaged. Nerve was fine but The Hidden Memory was completely unwatchable. Imagine the horror! I had stayed up way too late, watching Nerve, and on seeing "To be continued..." decided I could stay up just a bit longer but it was scrambled!!!!! Since more than a year has elapsed, I guess Amazon will not be willing to replace it (at least I haven't found a way to do it) so now I'm going to have to spend even more than the $193.19 (total including tax - I bought it as soon as it came out) just to get this one, very crucial episode. Buy it, enjoy it, but be sure to watch it right away when you can return the set if it is defective.

Summary: Price is WAY too high
Review: I'd love to buy it but the price is way too high. I'm waiting for a lower price - perhaps a special on the whole series. Last year I bought Buffy Season 1-6 for around this same price. I'll never pay this much just for one season. Too bad, it looks awesome.

Summary: Television can't get any better than Farscape
Review: I've collected a lot of DVD's, some good, some bad, but there is no better set than Farscape. No matter what you crave, be it action, romance, drama, comedy, special FX, you will find it with FS. This is no ordinary series, the storylines, characters, acting & cinematagraphy rival that of movies like Star Wars, Star Trek & such. I don't think I've ever connected or gotten attached to characters as much as these. The acters are little known but they shouldn't be. Their skills rival the best that Hollywood has. As you've probably read, Farscape is due to be cancelled which is to me just ridiculous being one of the most popular shows out there. However, it's rumored that if their ratings go up before the end of season 4 they may not cancel it. Season one introduces you to the various characters, good and bad,and revolves alot around the main character, astronaut John Crichton. Most of the time you feel lost as he does trying to cope with new surroundings & a new way of life(which is very good acting by Ben Browder). Season two evolves the other characters and their relationships towards each other. Season three is loaded to the max with drama. Season four is only halfway through but so far so good. Each DVD is loaded with extras:Character back stories, acter biographies, behind the scenes, deleted scenes, interviews, artwork, specialFX, Photo galleries,& even alien language and meanings. You definitly get your money's worth. Save Farscape!!!

Summary: Exellent!
Review: In life there are so many things that happen. There are good things, bad things, really bad things. But some times, although very rarely a perfect thing happens. Like rain coming down on a dry desert. This movie was kinda like that.

Summary: Amazing!
Review: Just about everyone who has reviewed this has called Farscape the best sci-fi show on television, and they are absolutely right. Well-written, well-acted, well-produced...yes, yes, and yes. And then some. Smart, too, but most importantly of all: it's *FUN*. If you're a long-time Farscape viewer, you'll already know the reasons to own the first season. If you're new to the show, this is where all of the seeds are planted, where all the conflict starts, and where all the fun begins!

Summary: Has Unavoidable Ads, & has elements of Fox network in it.
Review: Let me dispense with a few negative comments, and then finish with compliments. 1) They used Fox studios in Australia. If I'd known that Fox had any part in the making tof this film then I wouldn't have bought it. Fox's politics are reprehensible, and giving them money is a way of rewarding bad behavior. 2) Ads. On several of the DVDs in this set, one is launched AUTOMATICALLY into advertisements for non-Farscape crap, as the DVD launches. Pushy advertising, on something WE PAID TO SEE, is 100% unacceptable. On this basis alone, I won't be buying any more in this series, if this is what they do on later DVDs. 3) Sometimes the plots are a little ... unoriginal. Elements like EVERY attractive woman flirting with Our Hero, and characters ALWAYS surviving their exploits, are a little tired. 4) Characters are too often bipedal, human-sized, human-lookin'. One wishes that a SF series would embrace a higher standard of experimentation. OK--- on to the compliments. A) Refreshing dialogue, at times. Our Hero is a slightly too-super, too-successful guy, but at least he's a normal guy thrust into a spectacular world, and able to SAY all the things that we SF fans would want to say-- "Hey, he looks like Yoda !" "Shut up, Darth Vader Wannabe !" B) Good special effects. The DNA Mad Scientist, for example, has refolded legs that bear watching and re-watching...and the lip-synching done on The Pilot and Rigel are terrific. (Although, the sound company and the person who plays Rigel are not present in later seasons. So, perhaps later seasons won't have this quality. Drat.) C) Things EVOLVE. One annoying aspect of almost any TV series is, things never change. Episodes can be re-run in any order, with viewers never noticing a change. FarScape, however, has broken free of this mode. Episodes make regular references to events earlier on, characters evolve, plots evolve. Main characters DO get added (and, I hope, subtracted).

Summary: Its the frelling draddest
Review: Oh the irreverent humor! Oh those nasty Peackeepers. Luxans, Delvians, Hynerians - oh my! So much more than the bumpy heads of Star Trek. Gone is stick up the butt prime directive. Gone are the sterile environments of starships. Gone are the impeccable makeup and hair. Welcome to the rough and tumble jungle of the Uncharted territories. Farscape is pure space opera - a tale of a lost human astronaut who's tossed out of a wormhole right into the thick of a Peacekeeper battle. He gets picked up by a straggling crew of prisoners in a living ship called Moya. They get dirty. They get shot at, sliced, and tortured. They don't always do the right thing but they are survivors and fighters. Now this is real shoot em up nitty gritty space adventure! Scientific and political proselytizing is fine, but every once in a while you just want pure entertainment. Farscape mixes the occasional sci-fi "conundrum" episodes with storylines that arc across seasons. Each character's personality is dynamic. Villains become allies. Allies may even betray each other. John Chrichton initially seemed too young and jockish. He remains goofy but becomes quite a compassionate and heroic character. He is what the captain of "Enterprise" should have been. The emotionally inept Aeryn Sun is the best badass sci-fi female hero on TV. Rigel "Dominar of Hyneria" - his witty repartees leave me in stitches. Zhaan - the Delvian priest - her "secret" was quite shocking! D'Argo I'd have to say is the weakest character - too irritable and not much of a warrior. They all flee the scene of the battle with a crazed vengeful Peacekeeper captain named Crais on their tails. Chiana, a prisoner of the brainwashing Nebaris is introduced in this first season. And last but not least - dear sweet Pilot. He is ET come alive. Henson & co have achieved a remarkable feat with these puppets - they ARE real. The cliffhanger introduces a cold calculating half-breed villain named Scorpios who has the best office chair outside of a dentist's office.
It is true that there is the occasional fart joke and base humor. They swear, they screw, and sometimes are plain insane. Some episodes verge on madness. The pop culture references will make you giggle. The costumes and alien settings are always immaculate. If you watched ST enough you'll realize that they use the same 5 landscapes for every world. In Farscape, you'll see: Bladerunner-esque cities, bars full of aliens like the Mos Eisley Cantina, a cemetery planet, even a mining colony inside a space creature's carcass. At last some new ideas on the same old tired space stations and antiseptic new age architecture! I can see why the Sci-fi channel couldn't keep funding it. Farscape started out looking like a winner and continues to be in my book. Can't wait for the miniseries!

Summary: Absolutely the best Sci-Fi show ever.
Review: The only reason that this collection is getting five stars is that I don't have the option of giving it 10. This show is simply that good. You can keep your "Babylon 5", "Star Trek Whichever" and stupid "SG-1"...Farscape is in a league of its own.
Noted as the only watchable thing on the Sci-fi Channel (a station so bad you pray for commercials...SG-1, Tremors, Scare Tactics...you see what I mean) it was cancelled for some illogical reason at the conclusion of Season 4. An immensely enjoyable show, you appreciate even more if you have the opportunity to see it from the very beginning.
The characters grow on you, the plots are great, the dialoque is the best in television, and the special effects are both special and effective. This is a Jim Henson production and it lives up to it's creators well deserved reputation for cutting edge puppetry and effects. The only side effect of this series is that it renders you incapable of watching lesser material without a grimace. For instance, I can't enjoy the Scott Bacula Star Trek show anymore.
I need to warn you though, The series theme song is godawful (perhaps worse than the afore mentioned ST (stuff) ballad)but fortunately the ululating space sopranos diminish and disappear bu Season 3...you'll see what I mean. Keep that mute button handy until the opening shot...then buckle up for a real adventure.
