Intergalactic

Pretty weak script, but the story premise is interesting and I enjoyed it well enough. With a bit more focus on sxript, this show could bloom in season 2. Not a 10 out of 10, but not a 4 as is rated either.

I really liked the look of the cast, like Eleanor Tomlinson and loved Craig Parkinson in Line of Duty. The adverts were everywhere this week so decided to give it a try but the story is very lacklustre. It does get a bit better, but the acting is also inconsistent and it just doesn't make a very good show as a whole. Ignore all the biased 1/10 and 10/10 reviews from people with agendas. This show isn't that bad or good, it is simply mediocre which is a big shame.

I've just watched the complete series, and enjoyed it a mild kind of way. It's low budget, the script isn't great, and the acting is ok in parts - I'm glad to say some of the cast members obviously have some fun with it, and that comes through on screen.

Watch a fews eps and see what you think - it would be good if the title got a second series, and a bit more investment in script and story development.

As one of the probably very few people who can remember watching William Hartnell as Dr Who, I can testify to the show's rough edges and iffy bits - so don't be too enthusiastic about slating a programme like this. It could turn around with a second series green light.

Something very strange is going on here, everything up to the prison ship was first class but then collapsed into some of the worst acting I have ever witnessed. The actors performance was astonishingly poor and makes you wonder whether any of these people have ever even seen the inside of a dramatic arts Academy. My rating went from a high 8 to a low 2 between one scene and the next it was so bad. Then as if by magic, the direction/acting performance quality returned! It's all very strange and once you are through the first couple of episodes the show starts to get good. As a result, I'm hoping that the prison ship acting fiasco was just a blip and I'm actually starting to think that an assistant director (after a heavy nights drinking) told the actors to behave as weirdly crazy as possible.

Now, about the special effects, I've even seen a couple of reviews that have even suggested that the effects were "cheap and nasty". Well, I worked in the industry for 20 years and these are some excellent sets and effects. Actually, the only negative effects that I could pick up on was of the motion of the personal police ship at the start of episode one.

Characters get better by ep.5 - even the men are getting less whiney; 'captain' is still far too shouty and unstable: not sure she got this far in life. Witch woman, tech-girl and flyboy are good characters now; screwball and dread-girl getting better.
