I wasn't sure if I should take this show seriously or not. I mean, you have fish walking around in cop uniforms and it's on another planet and is it funny bad or bad funny and is it on purpose or is it really that bad? The fish thing really threw me. I mean, walking, talking cop fish. What is that? It's a joke, right? Or are they serious? That's what I didn't get. Maybe I'm an idiot. Or maybe they're the idiots. I don't know. I was shocked--shocked!--to see 007 director John Glen was at the helm of this thing. I mean, really, after getting booted from Bond this is what he turns to? Walking, talking cop fish in outer space? Granted, that Christopher Columbus film is no classic, but you'd think he'd have gotten better offers than this. I actually only saw one episode and picked it up halfway through, so I really don't know what I'm talking about. Maybe it's an unsung classic. But it sure didn't seem like it.

Space Precinct I thought looked promising, it was an interesting little yarn with some interesting concepts and I liked the characters very much.There were episodes with some pretty engaging plotlines though there were a few low points but this doesn't overshadow my opinion of the series which is a police series in outer space. There was a fair amount of chemistry which is clear in the cast. It was a series that had potential I was annoyed at its cancellation.This was one of Gerry Anderson's promising works and I liked his work particuarly Captain Scarlett.

I just cannot understand why there are people who say 'Space Precinct' isn't worth watching, as it is a very good SF-series!Yes, of course the aliens look a bit ridiculous, but that's actually part of the series' charm. Along with good stories, very obvious chemistry between Rob Youngblood (Officer Jack Haldane) and Simone Bendix (Officer Jane Castle) ànd nice sfx, this is a SF-series worth watching.It's a shame, though, that only one season was made.

The main problem with this series is it couldn't decide what it wanted to be. It had alot of the fun "family element" but yet it was marketed for an adult audience. This made it a very tough series to attract an audience (especially if it kept getting bumped by Ab-Flex infomercials every time I tried to tape it) I think this could have been more of a success run on Saturday mornings but NOT at 3am like many markets aired the series. Having said that this series had many elements of Gerry Anderson I love (remember this was produced by the guy who did Thunderbirds, Space 1999 and UFO). I thought the aliens were done well and it was nice to see models used instead of the over-used CGI animation we see all too often these days with this type of series. If you watch this series expecting a Gerry Anderson production (fans of UFO and Thunderbirds), this is a fun series! If you believe that all science fiction is required to be glossy, expensive and full of flash-bang CGI effects without regard to episode plot or character interaction (Blake's 7 & Doctor Who haters) Avoid this series at all cost! I guarantee you'll hate it.
