Picture quality much improved over Starburst Edition DVD discs.

Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2015

Verified Purchase

This review is for the Farscape Complete Series 15th Anniversary Collection BluRay edition.

I'm not going to spend a lot of time analyzing black levels and color saturation and sound quality. That's been done in other places.

What I am going to say is: If you are an owner of the Starburst Edition DVD set and are bothered by the jaggy lines that are very apparent, especially in scenes with movement then you need to update to the this BluRay set. Those lines are gone.

The other plus is that the BluRay set takes up 4 discs of space on the shelf instead of the 12+ discs that the Starburst edition was using.

Four stars because it's still not really HD (which is sad) and because it's apparently a transfer from the tapes used for broadcast there's a "Dolby" logo at the beginning of the episodes.

I'm still happy with the purchase because of the massive improvement in picture quality over the old DVD and I got it for a great price.

Why The Frell Did This Show Get Cancelled???

Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2015

Verified Purchase

I was flipping through channels recently and landed smack in the middle of an episode of "Farscape". I had NO idea what was going on,and had never seen the show before, but the gist of the story and the depth of the characters instantly drew me in. I purchased the box set, and I am so glad I did! This is one of the most creative, crazy, addicting Science Fiction shows ever made, and many of the CGI sequences have held up remarkably well.

But it's not the explosions, prosthetic alien makeup, or detailed sets and puppets (Yes, I said puppets, but these ain't your friendly Fraggles) that drive "Farscape"; it is the development and interactions between all the intriguing characters that will hook you. At the crux of the tale is John Crichton, an astronaut who accidentally arrives in a distant region of space after traversing a wormhole. He immediately encounters a ship, a living ship (Think giant space whale) full of prisoners making their escape from a militaristic force called the Peacekeepers. And the space odyssey begins in earnest! Crichton works to simultaneously become accepted and useful to the outcast crew, and his ultimate goal of returning to Earth.

The characters in "Farscape" are not your typical sterile, static Sci-fi batch viewers are use to. They are a flawed, self-serving and pretty violent little band of misfits...but they each have redeeming qualities, and the more you watch them, the more you love them. Each actor takes every opportunity to explore their character's facets, and they do a terrific job. The show is able to be dark and gritty, yet transition to comedic scenes seamlessly. And you really do forget the puppets are puppets. Trust me.

Another aspect of "Farscape" that MUST be mentioned is the romance between Crichton and Aeryn, a former Peacekeeper also stranded about the ship with the prisoners. The relationship that builds between them is so deliciously complicated that I couldn't look away from any of their scenes together, afraid I'd miss some nuance or long look. Seriously torturous! But the kind of torture you sorta like. Ben Browder and Claudia Black have some serious chemistry, and it soooo drove many a "Farscape" story. They made me cry! Like, multiple times. Again, an unusual feat for traditional Science Fiction.

It is a shame that a show this cool was cancelled before its time. I think the writers and actors would've done justice to a 5th season. There are many extras and commentaries that are worth a listen, as are the bloopers. Lastly, if you get this box set and you are a new fan like me, go ahead and get the mini-series "The Peacekeeper Wars." Buy it before you finish the last episode of Season 4, or you're frelled, my friend.

it grows on you

Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2014

Verified Purchase

Farscape is an odd show, no doubts there. The plots are bizarre, there are muppets galore, and the characters aren't afraid to have sex. But the show does grow on you. What really appeals to me about the show is the richness of the main characters. They're beautifully and subtly written. I definitely recommend the series.

It's a bit of a shame then that the video quality isn't as good as it might be on these blu-rays. The show was filmed as TV was making the switch to HD, so while the image quality is good it's not as rich as you might get even from the Star Trek: The Next Generation blu-rays. Part of the problem is that Farscape is generally a dark show so detail doesn't pop out.

The show itself is available on Netflix or Amazon Prime, so you don't really need the blu-rays just to be able to watch the show. However, the commentaries and extra features on the blu-rays are worthwhile. The creators of the show share some interesting insights. Some of the best are buy composer Guy Gross. I don't know if alone they're worth the price of this set, but if you can get it on a deal (and I've seen this set go on Amazon's Lightning Deals frequently) it'd be worth it for fans.

"Frelling" DVD flaws?

Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2016

Verified Purchase

I got this for Christmas 2015 and have now watched the entire series at least twice with this product.

(First Photo Upload) The episode "Mental as Anything" has an editing screen number in the first frame of a sequence where John Crichton is trying to get a "key" from hot rocks. Either the number should be removed or that frame should be.

(Other Uploads) "Farscape: The Archives" Digital Video Disc lists "PSYCHOTICALLY AMBITIOUS: A FARSCAPE REUNION" among the contents. The screen menus do not. This feature is not here!

Other than those small gems, and the first several seasons being full frame, instead of widescreen, this is a television series you would want to see in order. If you miss an episode (I avoided the ship eating episode when it aired) you may be slightly lost as to what happened to who, or who certain characters are. The Moya Crew do tend to reference themselves almost as much as pop culture. It is great to have the entire series so I can now follow along without too many questions. There are some continuity issues but very minor... Some of the Sci-fi commercials were not the highest quality either, but these are bonus features.

Being an Anniversary Edition, you would think they would have ironed out all these small flaws!
I'm left wondering, "Are these flaws I've pointed out on the Blu-ray versions? Is this just my DVDs?"
I've checked out the Jim Henson website and New Video but find no place for feedback like this on their products.

La meilleure version de Farscape (en anglais uniquement)

Reviewed in France on July 8, 2019

Verified Purchase

Coffret contenant les quatre saisons complètes, à compléter avec les deux épisodes finaux. Image de bonne qualité compte tenu de l'âge de l’âge de la série. Ratio d’affichage respecté : les premières saisons sont en 4/3. La bande son a été parfaitement restaurée contrairement aux DVD. Attention, exclusivement en anglais y compris les sous-titres. Lisible sur un lecteur Blu-ray européen.

Love having this full collection

Reviewed in Canada on September 5, 2014

Verified Purchase

Love having this full collection! Years ago collected Farscape bit by bit in DVD sets that came in volumes and were produced by different sources. Finally having a compiled collection that is both utterly complete and comparatively compact is very satisfying. Also love having all of the extras that are now included with it. Looking forward to rewatching!

Farscape is one of those hidden gems. It is a fantastical story with action, comedy, drama, love and family. This surrounds the main character that is trying to get home in a world where everything is alien to him. Love Ben Browder and Claudia Black.
