I used to watch this show with my dad every sunday.it was one of our favourite shows!!! It always had great story lines and great characters. Just an absolutely brilliant show!!!! SO due to being so great...it was cancelled!! UGHHHHH!!! The good ones always die young!!!
This was a sci-fi show with a little more brains than the most, so of course it had to die. Every time a show shows some brains, the ratings drop :)
Great use of ecology, good actors, no ending.
And another question: why do spaceships have some dumb air friction sound every time? They are in space for god's sake! And don't get me started on the fizzling lasers :)

This show was aired in Pakistan in 1996, and it was my favourite show then. The plot was gripping, the acting and the entire setting of the show was awesome. The aliens [can't remember what they were called now] were really chilling to watch, and each episode did have something interesting and different to offer than the previous one. I wish they'd air it again over here, I miss watching it.
This series was just wonderful. It had everything, the science fiction, the Robinson Crusoe-effect, the psychological aspect... Everything!
It's just too bad it didn't get a real ending. I still wonder what was meant to happen. It just is sad.

What can I say? It's been years since this show met its untimely demise at the hands of vision-impaired network execs but it still deserves a word or two.
This is one of a number of shows from around 1995-1996 which showed incredible promise yet were mercilessly killed early. Others include "Nowhere Man" and "Space: Above and Beyond".
Earth 2 was imaginative and intelligent (rare in the current TV era). There are some parallels to the settlement of the American West, with the dangers of raw nature and the dealings with native species. In many ways it had the promise of "doing it over again" and this time hoping we get it RIGHT (no more massacres).
This show is worth a view on SciFi for its human element and ongoing plot twists. While too much time has passed to hope of a revival, we can at least enjoy it for what it was and curse the networks for keeping alive only dumbed-down versions of "Trek".
