I have to say I am generally not a great science-fiction fan, so I was not expecting too much before seeing this little mini-series, but I was positively surprised. It consists of 7 episodes of 2-3 minutes, so you can easily watch the entire thing at once. It only runs for roughly 18 minutes. Fans of the series this is based on can be curious about one of the main characters when he was a lot younger and Oscar nominee Edward James Olmos even appears briefly in the end. But even without him, this would have been a good watch. Acting, writing, effects and the characters' looks (yummy Allison Warnyca) all make this a pretty decent watch. I was not entirely stunned by the quality of this one, but as I said this may only be because it's one of my least favorite genres. If you like space-themed films and shows more than I do, then you may actually have a truly great time checking this one out. I recommend it. Thumbs up.
