I don't regret watching two seasons of it so its not that bad. Still, they seriously could have done a better job on many things.
This is a mix of Western, Mad Max and Star Trek. So nothing in this show is very new. Overused concepts recycled, but having 3 of them mixed together make things a bit more interesting.
There is some good characters, good actors doing their best with their sometimes poor lines and scenes. Girls are cute and some of the men are rough and tough. The story get better and deeper as you watch it and subplots are not so bad in general.
Now what really ruined the whole thing for me as it mostly always does is the family friendly thing. Its not a teen show but its not an adult show either. Its between the two categories. So if you're an adult it gets to teenage-like sometimes and I hope that if you watch this with your kids you'll find it too mature for your kids sometimes. This is the kind of show that doesn't have swearing or nudity. Yet they have alien words very close to the real ones that they use all the time. Also there's references or allusions to hardcore stuff sometimes. They also have scenes that really are for adult. For example in one scene there's a prostitute feeding an old man who's wearing a diaper and she sit on him and spread food all over his chest and they have sex for awhile... How is that family friendly in any ways ? Its like if they wanted to make a serious adult show but had to deal with rating or channel rules. So they cheated as best as they could to make it watchable for adults.
Finally there's the issue of the extraterrestrials. I mean I get they were limited by money and all but still... There's 4 species so far, 4 different species and they all are humanoids, Seriously ? How is that possible... Anyways, there's the Wookies or bearded apes, there's the guys that look like Darth Vader without his suit, there's the very white people who just are powdered with white hairs and finally there's the savages with mean cat-like faces... Their cultures and customs are so lame, boring and ordinary. None of it is new, its all mixes of cultures and customs we have or had on Earth.
As I said its watchable. I'd say if you don't have a lot of time there's a lot of shows better than this out there, but if you are looking for something to watch to pass time its not the worst show out there.
