The Hensen company, which brought you the Muppets, created what is now cult hit. I have seen most of episodes more than twice. The characters are very colorful, which is the point. The acting can sometimes be over the top, which is also the point. A lot of the episodes are meant to be spoofs of other space flicks. But, with their own little, often awesome twist. Hensen also brings a weird, colorful variety to these characters like he did with his beloved (by us slightly more mature GenXers who remember them) Muppets. I also think that this series is what inspired the later Star Trek: Voyager t.v. series. Astronaut flung across the universe & as lost as his home is to him. Having to voyage across space, finding strange new species & adventures as he tries to find his way home. In time, making friends, finding love & a NEW home that slowly makes him realize that as long as he's been trying to get home, he may already be there. I still have to watch Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars, but this will always remain one of my favorite series, along with Firefly.Read full review

The depth and breadth of this Sci-Fi experience makes it superior to many of our other favorites. Sure, there are the usual contrivances to overcome impossible odds, and there is some questionable science, but the character development and action makes up for those. The main characters develop relations that evolve and sometimes revert over time. Each shows times of greatness, weakness, and even disappointment. They develop love-hate relations that change or endure. The characters inserted into new episodes are amazing. "You can't tell a book by its cover" certainly applies. Some attractive ones turn out to be treacherous; some ugly slobs turn out to be the brightest allies. Great humor also. Especially Crichton's frequent references to earth TV shows or political and historical events; references always lost on his fellow travelers. I've gotten to Season Three, and it's been great to relive the experiences of long ago. I also acquired the final wrap-it-all-up "The Peacekeeper Wars''. What a concept! To provide resolution to any and all questions when a series is suddenly cancelled! At least I hope it does. I'll let you know.Read full review

Product was in primo condition inside and out. A fun twist on science fiction with non human like characters. Beautiful masks and puppets. Story is engaging. Must have the final story, The Peacekeepers War, a separate dvd.

Haven't Watch the movie yet. So I can't say anything about if it is entertaining, and are if the characters are engaging. I have seen a few Farscape TV movies in the past and like them very much. So I am sure that when I watch the Farscape, (the complete series), DVD movies I am sure I will enjoy them very much. Thanks.
