It's too bad that great shows like this one and other great sci-fi shows are tossed to the side by executives who don't or won't give them a chance to catch on like the X-files did. This one went the same way that Firefly, Surface and Invasion did and I, personally, think it STINKS! I realize that the execs for "free" TV have to make sure that the shows are going to attract advertisers in order to pay for them but, dang, it gets very frustrating to have it pulled just as you're really getting into it. Does anyone else out there feel the way that I do? Please post your comments here or on the Firefly section of IMDb. Thanks!

I really liked this series, IMHO it was better than X-files itself. I liked the fact that the main character (Cap. Paul Turner)was near death, and depended on the very organization that he was trying to destroy to keep himself alive. Also the acting of Dr. Sidney MacMillan is great, trying to help her boyfriend but without the exaggerated excepticism of Dr Scully on Xfiles.But it was transmitted to late here in Venezuela (near midnight) and I was just a kid by the time, so I never watched the end of it.Now I'm looking for the complete season on torrent links but I haven't found it :-/ Anyone knows where it is? thanks =)

Yeah, that's right, I said it. Big deal, vanna fight about it? As one of the few hardcore sci-fi geeks who DIDN'T like the X-Files, Strange World really filled in that gap. Gordon took what he learned at X-Files and made it better. No more far-fetched stories that were here today, gone tomorrow. No more ridiculously-formulaic story structure (FBI agents investigate phenomena, stop threat, then go back to bureau and wait to investigate again).In Strange World, we got a man constantly haunted by his disease and his dependencies, as well as the group who's after him. He's a more down-to-earth character, dealing with more down-to-earth sci-fi mysteries that are more interesting because they feel more real, not some ridiculous story about vampires or computer vixens or people who can control the weather. Hopefully, it will be on DVD soon, and you can all see for yourself that talk about Strange World.

I consider myself fortunate in that we saw almost all the episodes in SA. Outstanding concept, well mixed with drama, mystery, excitement and, best of all, a marvellous human emotional slant.Contrary to what studio executives may think, we really do need a continuation of this series.
