Space Cops - Tatort Demeter City

I just cannot understand why there are people who say 'Space Precinct' isn't worth watching, as it is a very good SF-series!

Yes, of course the aliens look a bit ridiculous, but that's actually part of the series' charm. Along with good stories, very obvious chemistry between Rob Youngblood (Officer Jack Haldane) and Simone Bendix (Officer Jane Castle) ànd nice sfx, this is a SF-series worth watching.

It's a shame, though, that only one season was made.

I caught this show by accident one Saturday night while overshooting SNL (it had no advertising I ever saw). It was funny. From the silliness of the bug-eyed alien gangster running for political office to the balls-to-the-wall action of the time travel episode, I just enjoyed watching.

The special effects hadn't changed much since "UFO" and "Space: 1999" (same producer for all 3 series), and some of the actors couldn't handle light comedy or romantic tension, but Ted Shackelford, Nancy Paul and a few others made this an enjoyable show, doing for police in the future what "Baywatch" did for lifeguards in the present.

There were several American actors in this British production because the United States was the country of first publication.

Looking back at some old recorded episodes it is a really cheesy series but i wouldn't miss it for anything i used to rush to get my homework done to see this,i would put off going out with my friends to see this, i was and always will be hooked on space precinct it isnt that it has good fx or that it isnt predictable, its just that its just so addictive you just have to watch it, trust me WATCH THIS SERIES

Space Precinct harked back to a time when the best thing on tv was Thunderbirds with the terrible special effects but this time Anderson used real actors! Always criticised and rarely praised the show really wasn't that bad - it has fans and deserved a second season. And now you can get it on VHS and DVD in the UK!!! The show is receiving something of a revival at the moment. How lucky are we!!!!!!!!!!

Gerry Anderson has created a terrific cop show in space!!!! The first few episodes establish the characters and setting, then the show takes off with great stories and super effects!!!!! The dvds from England are spectacular with outstanding sound and picture quality. Fans of Gerry Anderson, and other science fiction shows will love this one.
