Impressions:
At the start of this season, I was thinking how I wanted a good scifi series to mix things up and I got just that. We get a mix of space adventure and Ten Little Indians-style intrigue with a good balance of comedy and drama. The cast play off each other well and the character interactions is one of the main draws. Production values are rather high and there are a number on interesting alien environments that we encounter along the way. And to put a cherry on top, the story fits nicely in the container we're given. It's easily one of the best shows out this season and I can easily recommend adding it to your collection.
