Good concept, poorly executed.

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Hard science fiction (no zombies, no vampires, no witches/warlocks etc) is hard to find. And apparently really hard for Hollywood to do well. Even with that, I had hopes for this show -- the first two episodes were interesting and well done. And then the kids came in. And stayed. Dominated the next few episodes, along with the required weak link character, the lawyer. And the show began to lose the focus of the first two episodes and regurgitated plot lines and scenes from tv shows going back to Lost in Space. I watched them all. Almost wore out the fast forward button. Two characters stood out.. Danziger and the Doctor. The 'leader', Devon, was just ok. The rest looked like they knew the show was doomed and started saving money by taking the bus to and from work. Bottom line is about 20% of any given show was worth watching and the rest was like fast-food, no value at all.

With all the series being reborn (V, Bionic Woman, Battlestar Gallactica, etc), this is one series that deserves a second chance. In my opinion, the Terrains were the best so-called alien race ever created. The characters and amazing actors in the series definitely deserved additional seasons.Today, with so few really good writers left with creative imaginations, viewers are left with new shows which were imagined by other writers. This is also true for movies and sadly, I doubt it will get better in the years to come. More and more movies and series will be redone as a result.If you haven't seen Earth 2, I encourage you to rent or buy the DVDs. Its better than any show currently on TV or likely to be in the near future.To producers out there, bring this one back!!

A pseudo religious story of salvation and redemption with wood carved characters that you would never choose for a mission like that. Egomaniacs, corrupt bureaucrats, a wise black man, a mother as a second in command who is totally obsessed with her sick kid, a riffle guy as a commander, a lonely girl without a mom raised by here tech dad with secrets to be kept.... The actors are also mostly to be rated B, the series wasn't very challenging anyway. Scientifically absolute nonsense. When will there be a sci-fi show where you don't have to think in every scene "oh G what a crud!" If you like Lost, this might be something for you. If you like fantasy, join the club. If you like sci-fi, don't waste your time.

I am rather surprised at the positive reviews this series is getting, I liked Tim Curry in the opening four episodes, but other than that, it did nothing for me and I think it deserves to remain lost in space. However, I am often driven by star quality, Curry is a star, a show needs someone I can zero in on every week, if I don't like the cast I am tuning out, as I did after Curry left, so maybe all the sophisticated elements of the series went over the head of my Irwin Allen-tragic-mind?However, I have noted that comments are often going on distant memories of the series rather than recent viewings. The series is now playing on YouTube, take another look guys, I don't know about anyone else but I can't think of a more boring start to a series than the first few minutes of that Earth 2 first episode.Other 1990s TV shows, such as Sliders, also had shades of Irwin Allen...The Time Tunnel. While seaQuest DSV was rooted in Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.
