2.0 out of 5 stars Terrible encoding, December 20, 2008
By Sverre Amundsen (SPRING, TX USA) - See all my reviews
This IS Farscape, so the content itself is superb. However, the video encoding here is absolutely terrible. I have downloaded a number of other shows from Amazon that play just fine, but in this case there is a frequent and regular annoying regular stutter that makes picture and sound halt for a second. This happens in every episode. Also, the picture quality is blurry, the sound is full of static. This is by far the worst quality of all Amazon Unbox videos I have seen.

Unfortunately, this is the only simple way of seeing Farscape Season 1 currently. The DVDs are not available, Netflix doesn't have this season, and iTunes is significantly more expensive.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works Great and its Frelling Farscape!!!, March 7, 2009
I have had no problems with the encoding like the previous reviewer. Either Amazon has addressed this problem, or possibly some sort of connection problems. I have watched each episode clean and clear without any glitches, pauses, etc.
Well if you want a great TV show here is where to look. Farscape is one of those rare shows that has something for absolutely everyone. If you are a fan of SCI-FI and have trouble getting others to watch, sit them down to Farscape. they will be quickly hooked

5.0 out of 5 stars Some of the Best, November 15, 2009
By Douglas C. Meeks "doug_meeks" (Huntsville, Alabama USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I had to watch this series over a period of months that it took me to get it from NetFlix. This is quite possibly one of the best SCIFI dramas to have ever been made. It relied on good writing rather than million dollar special effects to capture its audience. Get this whole series with the movie that ties it all together as a finale Farscape - The Peacekeeper Wars . There is some discussion as to the quality of this particular recording but the series was awesome, do some research and see which release works for you.
