Gary Graham and Eric Pierpoint made this show a joy to watch. I liked the original movie and first saw this series on UK network TV in 1995. A lot of scifi series come and go but this one caught my eye and I became hooked. It utilised a mix of scifi, action and humour all in one as well as bringing to the fore topics that affect day to day life such as discrimination, ignorance and racial tension mirroring some similarities of the struggle in America of black people fighting for a right to equality. Det George Francisco, played by Eric Pierpoint, was a family man and as each show went on, we learned more of the characters and story which made the show very interesting. Unfortunately, FOX decided to cancel the show after just one season and revisited the franchise some years later with some made for TV movies, which themselves may see a US DVD release in 2007/8. Nevertheless, here it is for a UK DVD release and I would recommend to any real scifi fan that has not seen it go and buy it. Remember it was made in 1989/90 so it is nearly 20 years old but its a joy to watch a series that had good storylines, humour and all round scifi entertainment.
