Starhunter

Similar in plot and feel to "Firefly" although not as funny. Great escapist fun if you're into space opera. Excepting Michael Pare (who is wonderfully world-weary in the lead) the rest of the cast is only familiar to fans of syndicated Canadian and European series. Will perhaps appeal only to genre fans but is worth a look.

I greatly enjoyed watching Starhunter. The budgetary restrictions and flaws of the series only added to it's charm. There was an appealing gritty quality to Starhunter. The negative reviewer who attacks Dante Montana for having "trashy looks" and being "devoid of leadership acumen" is missing the point. That's exactly what I liked about the guy. It definitely made him different from the usual protagonists on other space series. My friends and I loved both seasons of this show. The complete second season, Starhunter 2300, is currently available on DVD. It'd be great if there were a complete first season DVD set. Having both seasons of Starhunter on DVD would be fantastic!

This highly absorbing SF drama is set in the 23rd century and is made credible by a total absence of aliens. The series showcases strong characters, which are as plausible and charismatic as the quirky ship they share. The sets are original, fascinating, and convincing. The wardrobe is cool and attractive, and the plots advance quickly enough that the viewer doesn't have time to think 'I wonder how they did that' about the seamless, flawlessly executed special effects. Overall, the series is appealing, interesting and very entertaining!

This is simply the most interesting science fiction show on air. Not the biggest, but the only one I tried not to miss. OK some episodes are better than others -what show isn't? What I like is how there's a plot for each episode that is often actually new and not like other shows, and a plot for the series as a whole.

Budikavla, the previous poster, has his taste up his wazoo. This is a very good series with strong characters. The set-up is imaginative with room for a wide variety of plot lines. The show is such that it could have a huge run; the special effects are in the can for the most part, and the cast is easy on the eyes. In the 4 or 5 episodes I have seen the writing is good, the action is fast paced and there is a decent mix of humour and sexuality in with the action.

The lack of slick sets only adds to the flavour of this show. Shows like Andromeda are too smooth and the lead actors are TOO good looking. Here we have a cast of believable characters and with the male lead having rugged good looks and both female leads very nice in the girl-next door kind of way, especially Percy Montana (dimples, blue eyes,hot bod and a husky voice).

Definitely worth trying a few hours on.
