Fun if you don't take it to serious

This is one of those wooden Sc-Fi series that just grows on you and before you know it you can't wait to see the next episode.

It is filled with Hot Chicks who spend far to many hours in the gym (look out for Ming's daughter), which can also be said about actor who plays Flash Gordon instead of those all important acting lessons! In fact: you'll find yourself rooting for "Ming the Merciless" (not to be confused with the ex-Lib Dem Leader) played by John Ralston who clearly can act!

This series is closer to Lexx than the tiresomely serious Battlestar Glactica series, which I also own. Of course, its no where near the Stargate franchise, but if you can appreciate a less full on version of Lexx with bigger budget then you'll like this series. I do also own the compulsory Firefly series and movie for Sc-Fi fans.

Worth a buy at only £26 with the knowledge it's closer to the Lexx series than Battlestar Glactica(very boring in its 3rd season). Enjoy the ham acting with an open minded.
