Amazon.co.uk Review
An international co-production of Jim Henson's Creature Shop, Australia's Channel 9 and Hallmark Entertainment, Farscape is genre television at its most ambitious, inspired both by the cult appeal of Babylon 5 and the continuing success of the Star Trek franchise. Making extensive use of CGI, prosthetics and state-of-the-art puppetry, Farscape takes a visual leap beyond previous shows. Admittedly, the basic premise may be borrowed from Buck Rogers (American astronaut catapulted to far-flung galaxy populated by strange aliens), while the crew have something of Blake's 7 about them (a motley bunch of escaped convicts pursued by a relentless foe), and ideas such as the living ship are borrowed from Babylon 5, but the Farscape concept has a freshness that makes it look and feel completely original. The production design is all biomechanical curves and the script never takes itself too seriously (fart jokes and double-entendres pop up when you least expect them). It must have been expensive to make, but it certainly looks as if every penny made it to the screen. --Mark Walker

Almost Perfect
I got this box set for christmas and I watched them within 4 days of each other, these videos are truely brilliant and so much better than all the other scifi things out there, the people actually seem real and don' do everything right, the only thing I can think of which is bad about this is the box which is really flimsly, that in itself is a testament to the quality of these videos. Get this and you will not be disapoited,

The best thing since sliced bread and I'm not kidding!!!!
If you like Science Fiction then you will adore Farscape. Its a cross between star trek and deep space 9 and its one not to miss!!! Its about a astronaut called John Crichton. While doing an experiment in his space craft Farscape he is sucked in a wormhole to a parallel universe. When he gets there, he is in the middle of a raging battle. Once there he makes another alein ship crash. This ship belongs to a peace keeper, who are fiece warriors. He has already made powerful enemies in the first five minutes of arriving, NOT a good start!! He is then picked up by the ship of escaping alien prisoners and this is just the start of his many adventures. I'm not going to give anymore away so if you want to know whats going to happen next you will just have to buy it. Go on, I know you'll love it!!!!
