It is slow-paced, but thought provoking and teaching. Kids nowadays or even adults will not comprehend the messages in this cartoon, because of how far society has degraded.
I write this because people should really give it a chance. I'd also suggest to watch it when stoned because it's very very captivating and INTERESTING, actually interesting. I also want to mention that it's epic how there is so much humanity in this series yet almost no humans (which makes perfect sense hence humanity is almost dead in humans nowadays).
There are lessons in this series and a lot of dynamic but without getting fillers which is amazing. The whole journey of the Silver Surfer and every episode is connected. Scenery always changes and some of the same aspects also helps to glue it all together, but they are always presented from a different angle. I'd say a must watch series except that the last episode has a huge open (hole) end and the plot in it doesn't end at the end.

Too bad Marvel hasn't yet come into their own. Maybe they can try agai. Now that they have the capital.
An intelligent and engrossing series that explores themes of culture, war, and the search for knowledge that are still as prevalent as ever to this day. Beautifully animated (especially for 1998), a true step above the X-Men series' designs, with characters and images that jump off the screen. This show is just something else, truly epic in scale and unafraid to take storytelling risks, which start really paying off later in the season. The new ADD generation can't wrap their heads around it, but this series has more depth than 90% of anything on television nowadays.
It's a shame such a good show was cancelled like that. It really was good. Had some smart episodes and even turned characters who were lame in the comics interesting (like Beta Ray Bill). Some good animation as well. I hate it when good shows like this get cancelled.
At last, a cartoon that doesn't insult the viewers' intelligence! Silver Surfer is beautifully animated, with an enthralling plot, intriguing characters, and voice acting so talented that it will enthrall both kids and adults alike. Set against the stunningly beautiful backdrop of space, Norrin Rad - the Silver Surfer - is on a journey to find his home-world, Zenn-La, after it was flung into the farthest reaches of the universe by his former master, Galactus. The cartoon chronicles his adventures, his friends and his foes, but most importantly, his thoughts. The villain of the series, Thanos, is also worth a mention, as his voice - let alone his hopeless love for a cold, unresponsive statue - is enough to make you hate him and love him at once. This masterpiece is by far Marvel's best cartoon.
Did you know
- TriviaAfter 13 episodes in the 1st season of the show Marvel had planned a 2nd season with 13 more episodes for The Silver Surfer. But the 2nd season didn't air because Marvel was facing bankruptcy problems and couldn't afford to air the 2nd season (even though the show had good ratings). Only eight out of the 13 episode scripts were written before the production on the show was stopped.
