Others have already mentioned the good stories and character development (and one of the best villains to ever appear in a series), so I will simply say 2 things about the show in an effort to get you to watch it and give it a try.Diablo2000 said:A bit offtopic, but it's Farscape that good? I saw a couple times while navegating Netflix and thought "This could be good... But I want to watch something else." I could give it a try if people recommend enough... (Yes, I am asking to you try to covert me to Farscape, so convert away)
First, it is one of the few television programs I loved enough to put down the money to buy the DVD box set. Given how much of a miser I am, there are very few shows I am willing to spend that kind of money on.
Second, it became apparent to me almost immediately from watching the actors interact in character in the show that this was a crew that truly loved coming to work and put their hearts into what they were doing. That really ups the standards and quality of a program for me.
Is the show a little silly at times? Of course. Will it appeal to everyone's tastes? Of course not. But I really do recommend giving it a try. I (and a few others on the board) loved the show. We hope you get as much enjoyment out of it as we did.
