Summary: Excellent and very original series!
Review: Finally! Farscape on DVD, I've been living in a house without cable, therefore I haven't seen this series until now, I've alway heard great things about it, but never the chance to watch it (especially the great interviews with the stars of the show on scifi.ign.com.) Thanks to ADV Films I didn't have to wait too long to get my hands on it, and the great thing about it is that there is a commentary with each episode, it was great hearing Browder, Simcoe and Black having so much fun telling their experiences on the set and explaning how everything began, these stars felt very real and down to earth to me, and I can't wait for the future release of the other episodes. If you are remotely a fan of science fiction or long running shows like Star Trek, do yourself a favor and pick up Farscape!

Summary: Best sci fi on television, darn near the best show
Review: Creative, far-reaching and visionary in it's scope. This is a fun show and the introductory episodes only touch the surface of the series. The acting is strong, the stories stronger and the visuals truly out of this world. I have both the UK version (couldn't wait) and the US version. Clean, crisp pictures and sound. Since this is a tv show, the commerical breaks are a little out of place but only slightly annoying. Start with this and you'll be hooked for life.

Summary: A Must-Buy for All Farscape Fans
Review: Farscape on DVD, with tons of cool features? Somebody pinch me, I must be dreaming! Two very cool episodes, interesting commentary, a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of the show, plus a detailed profile of Ben Browder (aka John Crichton) all add up to one of the coolest DVD's in my collection. This is the way TV shows should be on DVD and I look forward to the rest of the collection!

Summary: Farscape, the best of SciFi!
Review: Farscape, without a doubt one of the best science fiction shows around. In this episode, we discover astronaunt John Crichton. He get's flown across into the outskirts of the universes and discover alien life-forms: Areyn Sun, D'Argo, Zhaan, Domanar Rygel the 16th, Pilot and the living ship Moya. Crichton soon learns that an insane millatary commander, Crasis, is after him because this peacekeeper believes Crichton killed his brother. You have to get this DVD! Once as you watch it, you'll find yourself wanting more!

Summary: Farscape... far out!
Review: I have the entire first series on DVD (its been available for much of 2000 - try amazon.co.uk if you are able to view region 2) and it is incredibly addictive. Perhaps the most original and exciting sci-fi series ever, I'd venture to say. The lavish production puts many Hollywood movies to shame. Comparing it with one of its contemporary series, Andromeda, Farscape has that look of 'no expense spared on wardrobe and sets', while a recent Andromeda episode, er, put some silver paint on the aliens' faces and that was it! I vote Farscape way head of any TV sci-fi you're likely to see, and on DVD the full Dolby experience is awesome. Also the humour is very dry at times, which just adds to the enjoyment. This one is well worth your hard-earned cash, believe me.

Summary: One of the best sci-fi shows ever!
Review: FARSCAPE is the most consistantly original sci-fi series with the greatest cast of unique and memorable characters. It never disappoints! I just wish they would release the entire first season on DVD. C'mon, give us one big set, like they did for the X-FILES! I'd order a copy in a second!

Summary: WORTH WAITING FOR
Review: I have the UK editon of this DVD & it's excellent. The sound is in Dolby 5.1.Wait until you hear Moya flying into starburst across your T.V. screen. WOW!The picture quality is also excellent & is meant for TV's with more than 500 lines of resolution. This Dvd has some cute extras. On disc one there are somewonderful interviews that show just how much work & sweat is put into Farscape. On disc 2 you can finally see the actorwho plays Dargo without make up. Make sure when you view both DVD's you have a home theatre. If you don't have one get one. This DVD is worth the wait for fans of the show. You may also pick up the Farscape music CD to satisfy your cravings. This DVD also contains screensavers & web links. The only difference on the UK version is the packaging. So enjoy. I'll review the next Farscape DVD when it arrives, as I already have it. Blast off into Farscape!

Summary: What a great DVD ?
Review: We have just finished the second series of Farscape over in the UK and it is getting better and better by the episode. It combines puppetry and CGI and has very good storylines. This is I think one of the best Sci-Fi series on TV for a long time. The DVD adds Dolby Digital 5.1 to the mix to add some extra atsmosphere to the normal TV broadcasts.

Summary: It's one of SCI FI's best and brightest to date!
Review: The SCI FI channel has been dependent on classic (and not so classic) series of old for some time. Now, it has several of the choicest series not just on cable, but on television in general. FARSCAPE, along with THE INVISIBLE MAN, LEXX, and FIRST WAVE, is one of the most original shows for science fiction fans and for fans of great television in general. From the excellent animatronics from Jim Henson's Creature Shop to the stunning acting from the principal players like Claudia Black and Ben Browder, this show breaks the old rules of space opera and makes new ones for the next generation to inspire for. I will be ready to add this series to my collection the minute I get my DVD player. This ain't your daddy's STAR TREK, and I'm glad it ain't.

Summary: This DVD won me over... I had never seen the series on TV
Review: This is a pretty cool re-telling of the Buck Rogers/Flash Gorden mythos. It has some weak acting in the first few minutes of the first episode, but after he gets into his new "world" these characters are well acted & given the depth they deserve. Visually, this is a great show. You can tell they had fun with the designs. Henson's son has really done an impressive job with this. I was definately left waiting for the second volume of this series of DVD's. The extras are lacking but, it's a TV show... you can't expect too much. All around good time.
