Not even for purists

This is truly awful. Bad costumes, bad acting, bad scripts and unbelievably bad sets utterly ruin a few faintly interesting topics, which are very much in the tradition of the early Star Trek episodes that dealt with experimental social systems (as opposed to the monster of the week). The computer interface is the best thing in it but generally the science is laughable. Especially spacesuits for depressurised areas with loose gloves...
I wondered why I had never heard of it - too bad the review above had not yet been posted when someone bought it as a gift. If you are the sort of person who likes to watch extremely bad horror films for laughs you might find some amusement here.

Canada's unsuccessful foray into sci-fi.....
Review date: 2007-06-22 Rating: 2 out of 10
This was a Canadian video-taped science fiction series featuring a pretty well-known cast to sci-fi fans: Walter Koenig (Chekov from Star Trek), Keir Dullea (2001: A Space Odyssey), and Alexandra Bastedo (The Champions), but that's about all it has going for it.
Rumor has it that the series was so poorly done and so utterly dull that its creator, the respected Harlan Ellison, disowned it and signed the pilot to the series wth his pen name "Cordwainer Bird." The series seems more appropriate as a cure for insomnia and was thankfully terminated after one season. The premise of the show revolved around a group of survivors from the destroyed planet Earth who were on an endless journey thru the farthest reaches of space in a huge spaceship consisting mainly of plastic, mod, circa early 1970's furniture and cardboard sets--not unlike seen on "Moonbase 3" which debuted the same year. For sci-fi purists only...
