Farscape is genre television at its most ambitious, inspired both by the cult appeal of Babylon 5 and the continuing success of the Star Trek franchise, but taking a visual and conceptual leap beyond those shows. Making extensive use of CGI, prosthetics, and state-of-the-art puppetry, courtesy of Jim Henson's Creature Shop, the Farscape concept has a freshness that makes it look and feel completely original. Among the first season's 22 episodes, "Premiere" introduces the characters and the basic premise: American astronaut John Crichton (Ben Browder) is flung through a wormhole and comes out in the midst of an interstellar prison escape on the other side of the universe. When the galactic cops (called "Peacekeepers") mark him as the new public enemy number one, Crichton is forced to ally himself with the convicts: hulking warrior D'Argo (Anthony Simcoe), blue-skinned priest Zhaan (Virginia Hey), fugitive peacekeeper Aeryn (Claudia Black), exiled king Rygel (Jonathan Hardy), and Pilot, the giant insectlike nerve center of their living ship, Moya.
In the action-packed and stylishly directed "Throne for a Loss," a race of mercenary criminals called the Tavleks kidnap the imperious Rygel. "PK Tech Girl" and "That Old Black Magic" feature a peek into the pasts of Rygel and Zhaan as they hide from the fleets of Peacekeeper soldiers in the galactic frontier known as the Uncharted Territories. Leading toward the climax of the show's first season, "Nerve" and "The Hidden Memory" make for a bold two-parter that reunites Crichton with his Peacekeeper Tech girlfriend, Gilina, and introduces the dreaded Scorpius, who uses his Aurora Chair torture device to extract what he mistakenly believes is vital knowledge from Crichton. The final episode, "Family Ties," ends with a cliffhanger guaranteed to bring viewers back for more, as the duplicitous Rygel plans to turn traitor, which eventually leaves the fates of Crichton and D'Argo up for grabs and Moya's young offspring under the control of the conflicted villain Crais, among other developments.

I wasn't able to watch Farscape from the beginning. After finishing the series a long time ago, I ended up finishing the series with some questions. I had to go back and see what I missed in the first season. I went back to see what I missed. I was expecting the first season to be like the latter 3 seasons. It was very good; I enjoyed it, but not as much as I had expected. However, the series seems to have matured a lot in the first year and everything was much more entertaining in subsequent ...

From the very first episode onward, it's pretty obvious that "Farscape: The Complete Season 1" is no ordinary sci-fi story -- the characters are outlaws, the ship is alive, and distant galaxies are full of gloriously weird and grotesque Muppets. Fortunately, it's not just unusual but brilliant -- full of irreverent humor, strange alien species, heart-pounding action and eerie sci-fi.

this is a great series, with a lot of action, great effects and a very good story, the sound is outstanding, the image very good. but note this, the first season is NOT CC. Despite the seasons 2, 3 and 4 (WITH CC). anyway I recommend totally the series.

What in the hazmanna were they thinkng? Was it to have more airtime for "Sci-Fi Originals," like Mansquito? As I write this, Farscape is syndicated everywhere--even in Israel--except in the States, probably because they're too cheap to pay residuals to the show's writers et. al. Sci-Fi is itself to blame for the "drop" in ratings when they monkeyed around with its scheduling. Everything about this show was top-notch, from the writing to the lighting, from the directing to the high-octave wheeze of Rygel's ... Read More
