After awhile I was able to get over the really horrible acting and enjoy the story. I’ve heard I’ll appreciate the 1st season even more when I see the later seasons and how well the first season paved the path for them.

It’s refreshing to see an American SF programme which isn’t unabashedly hard-right in its ideology. The better elements of Strazynski’s writing inherit much from H. P. Lovecraft, and there’s even a character named Alfred Bester!

Ultimately, an anti-war, left-leaning, pro-labour show from a country where much of SF is much worse. So much potential, yet so much cheeze. Perhaps it will get better?

How did they make it to season 2?
The premise is kinda interesting, but my goodness! The acting! The terrible, terrible acting! And the throwaway episodes. Thank goodness I found the List of Episodes You Need To Watch for Continuity and skipped everything else.
So, as a season, not worth watching. The group of carefully selected episodes was, though.
