Saw this on the CRACKLE app. Fun show. Addictive. Main characters were captivating. I Wasn't a Peter Weller fan until now. Robocop didn't do it for me at all. His role can be just a hair over the line at times with the cigar but overall the entire cast was getting it done very well. Loved the intro. It was a bit heavy on the repetition of certain musical overlays. A few episodes had heavy nudity and mind blowing adult situations (not complaining). The storyline could be viewed as one-sided and shallow. Weller's on screen son had a weird relationship with his girlfriend. Some of the characters were underutilized and one was killed off with an awkward transition. There was lots of potential for gadgets considering but not created. A made for TV movie would have been nice. Other series to consider: Last Resort, Powers and Chosen:the box

This piece of claptrap is so boring and slow-moving that it's no wonder the series failed to get renewed. Convoluted plot lines that make the X-Files look sane by comparison, villains everywhere you turn and no two of them seem to be working together. The operative phrase from the 1960s would be "no redeeming social value".When the Seeker explains how all the societies that he visited were destroyed the same way as Earth it seems obvious that he's the cause and he's sending them back to create the seeds of Earth's destruction. Every episode seems to further expand this premise since every threat that the 'Odyssey 5' conquer seems to cause two more to replace it, just like the Hydra of Greek Mythology.If you absolutely MUST waste time on this series, borrow it from your Library so at least it won't cost you any money.

This show had it all, a good cast connecting from the very first minute, a good unique storyline and good ratings. And it was cancelled. Just as Space above & beyond and Earth 2 to mention just 2. Shows that have been cancelled for the most weird reasons.Odyssey 5 is simply the best mix of scifi you can get. It's funny as stargate but more serious. The actors do stuff you would expect you would do as well.It's just a shame that it won't comeback and a pity that no other network had picked it up when it was cancelled. Now we will never know how the story will unfold.

I am in awe of how awful this show is. It seems to have a cult following which confounds me. Let me be completely clear: this show is so retarded that I thought it was British.The overacting is complimented nicely by the horrid writing. The character design is so obvious that the pilot is virtually unwatchable. If there is one thing I despise, it's watching a show that has a tramp, a strong woman, a prodigal son, and a conflicted leader. This show has practically been written from a textbook.If I had the choice, I would rather swallow a gallon my fermented spitwine than watch another episode of this god-awful tripe.
