So... you like Guardians of the Galaxy, but wish there was a lot more? Then may I recommend Farscape?

Made by the Jim Henson company, this show ran for 4 seasons on the SciFi network, and was followed up with a mini series to tie up loose plotlines. You'll find several familiar characters.

John Crichton is an astronaut who got pulled into a wormhole into the far side of the galaxy. None of the other characters take him very seriously because he makes a lot of pop cultural references none of them understand. Sounds a bit like Peter Quill / Star Lord. He also develops a powerful ability no one else understands. Both of them also wear long trenchcoats and use twin pistols.

Officer Aeryn Sun is an alien who looks human - raised from birth to be a soldier. She and Crichton have a will they / won't they unresolved sexual tension thing going on. Gammora, anyone? Bonus - she's also hated by her former comrades (Nebula).

Ka D'Argo is a warrior who is pushes others away because of his violent past. His wife and child were killed and he seeks revenge. Drax, perhaps?

Rigel the XVI is the deposed ruler of an alien race who is insulting, greedy, and a thief. Granted, he's not furry or the product of science experiments, but he's small in size and has a lot in common with Rocket.

Zhaan is a plant based being who is the most spiritual of the group, but also can be surprisingly violent. She can say a lot more than "I am Groot," but still...also, she's blue and bald like Nebula.

Oh, and they're all escaped criminals being hunted by an insane military commander. Two of them in fact - the first, Crais, starts out like Ronan, but ends up becoming an ally like Yondu. The second, Scorpius, is pure manipulative evil with his own agenda - much like Thanos.

There's no really good match for some of the other characters like Chiana or Pilot, but if you want to see a show with the same humor, drama, and action as Guardians of the Galaxy, I highly recommend Farscape. It is easily in my top 5 scifi shows of all time.

Review for 2009 The Complete Series DVD set

Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2019

Verified Purchase

It seems the reviews for blu-ray/dvd and the differing Farscape sets get lumped together. I am reviewing the 2009 DVD set that come in 5 standard cases in a box. Four for the seasons and one for extras.

I love that you can rewatch many of the episodes with commentary. I wanted to buy this set when it first came out, but it was over $300 at that time. I was able to get a used set for 1/10th of that. For some reason that I don't recall, I wasn't able to watch the show regularly when it was first released. Very happy to be able to binge watch it now.

The effects are awesome for the time and the writing is good. To be honest, I just never feel in love with any of the characters. They all are very self centered and I get tired of all the issues they have with each other. Too much like everyday life in that regard.

Masterpiece science fiction at its best.

This is by far my favorite science fictions series to date. It is also one of the most original series out there. I fell in love with the show from the very start on the SciFi channel, being thrown into this amazing alien and technology filled universe far across the galaxy. The main protagonists are all very dynamic and can make some morally ambiguous decisions along the well, but ultimately gelling into an amazing core crew. Its a shame only the last season was filmed in HD as the practical effects used for the majority of the show still holds up today. Some of the visual fx may look a little dated, but not nearly as bad as you might think for the technology available at the time. If you miss out on this, you miss out on a key piece of science fiction television.

One of the best Sci-Fi series you'll ever see!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 17, 2018

Verified Purchase

I'm not lying when I'm saying how awesome this series is, what helps make it great is that many of the practical effects were done by Jim Henson's Creature Shop which makes the creatures and the aliens appear a lot more real, however the CGI is very...dated. The worst parts are seeing Rygel as he walks since he's a puppet, but the out-takes are hilarious!

A great way it hooks you in is the opening story where John Crichton (Ben Browder) is an astronaut on Earth, doing an experimental maneuver using the slingshot theory as a means to travel further in space, however, a wormhole opens and he finds himself in some unknown part of the universe and in the middle of a fierce battle. As we follow John because technology out here is SOOO vast and beyond our own (even by today's standards) he has to have everything explained to him which frustrates the crew he's with since it's all common knowledge to them like flipping on a light switch but even John (who is a physicist) struggles to grasp the concepts around different technologies, but he tries his best considering he's on the run.

This series is one of those hidden classics, not enough people know about it and this collection also included the peacekeeper wars that cap off the end of the series after it had been canceled.

Fantastic, Not much to add to other reviews. Will make you laugh, cry and hide behind the sofa. Buy it, you won't regret it.

After a few weeks viewing, I'm even more impressed.......the cuts that were/ are evident on TV are not present on this Blu Ray release. What a difference it makes, too. Language is slightly fruitier, but never crude. The sexuality of the show is far more engaging, to the extent that on TV, you were left bemused by the cuts, wondering "eh, what just happened there". Well, wonder no longer. Zhan has a blue bottom and very nice it is too.

The commentaries are the best I've heard on DVD or Blu-Ray. They are funny and honest and not self-congratulatory, like some. The hard work, commitment and love for the show really comes out in the extras. In my opinion, the team's magnum opus.

First Time I've posted a review, why never before, well never had anything that wasn't already covered by someone else! Until now anyway, this is a brief review of Farscape definitive Collection on Blu Ray. Now most people will be aware that this is an upscaled pseudo HD picture as the original masters are currently on Walkabout in Australia. However I wanted to clarify that this is a significant upgrade from stander def picture and offers better image then upscaled image as well. The print isn't perfect the biggest weakness, and this is not in many episodes, is where they inserted stock footage as this was a lower standard to begin with and so is noticeable soft and lacking in fine details. In general you have faith colour with Skin tone and blacks holding up well as does the sfx on the principle characters and puppets. So picture wise a good solid performance I'd rate as 3.5 - 4 throughout.

The Other item often see as a negative is the presentation of 4:3 image which is how it was shot! Now some shows were filmed in widescreen with suitable safe areas etc but Farscape was not one of these from the research I've seen. The quality of the show means after the first few mins you don't notice the black bars and this doesn't affect my enjoyment of the show.

Now audio is where it really shines with new loss less sound tracks. I'm outputting via a THX certified amp 7.1 systems and the audio makes good use of all channels and creates an encompassing sound stage. I feel this makes better use of the soundscape then much larger productions like STNG where the sound mix is less of a strength often feeling sparse. Now from a purely personal perspective I always find upgrade to sound adds more to the viewing experience then just the video. Audio wise I'd give it a solid 5 stars.

Farscape is a show that remains both underrated and a cult classic and whether its brand new to you or you've bought it before on DVD at the current price point its well worth jumping in.

Forget the negative reviews...this is a great upscaled version of the original and the sound top notch...they really have made a great job of rejuvinating this great series...I loved the original...but of course we didn'nt know better back then and technology was still in it's infantsy..I never saw the end of the series so when I read a great review by Bertie Buggerington I decided to go for it...especially at the this bargain price...88 episodes for less the £30...what more can you ask for..I have given 5 stars because my opinion differs to his in the fact I think it's a wonderful job they have done...and he reviewd this blu ray back when blu ray players were in their early days and they have moved on and play this series very well..I use an LG 3D blu ray.
Anyway...if you enjoyed the original you will certainly enjoy this...get it while you can at this price..Cheers

One of the best modern sci-fi shows that can still hold its head high, against some recent shows and blockbusters.....

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 18, 2016

Verified Purchase

For myself, the story, plot, characters are all well designed as well as gritty rather than the clean/clear more well known science - fiction series. The puppets express sufficient emotions and as well as the voice acting and the puppet movement to portray the human equivalent emotions we seek in order to empathise with a character and build distaste, likeness and love.
Their are a number of story arcs within individual stories and a great plot overall.

If you want Sci-Fi with bite, humor, nods to mainstream TV as well great characters and a superb story, then you should buy this.
