Christian Science Monitor by M.S. Mason

"Farscape" is not only fun, it is often thoughtful and probes issues of good and evil. [7 May 1999]

Washington Post by Tom Shales

An adventurous, whimsical and spectacular space series. ... "Farscape" doesn't plumb mysteries of the cosmos or boldly go into profound allegorical realms. But it is fun, and beautifully produced. [8 Jul 1999]

San Francisco Chronicle by Tim Goodman

A superb little series. ... The acting and writing is top-notch. There's a witty undertone that's much appreciated and enough pop culture asides to keep you going through the arcane structure.

Entertainment Weekly by Marc Bernardin

[An] engaging, if familiar, new actioner.

Detroit Free Press by Mike Duffy

"Farscape" offers a witty, energized change of pace from popular, long-running science-fiction series such as "Babylon 5" and the various "Star Trek" incarnations. There's less futuristic philosophizing, more colorful comic book action and humorous fun. [19 Mar 1999]

USA Today by Robert Bianco

All in all, pretty standard sci-fi stuff, but it's well played by the attractive cast and unusually well produced. Even more unusually, the show seems as interested in its characters as it is in its hardware. [19 Mar 1999]

Dallas Morning News by Ed Bark

Farscape is thoroughly first-rate in the special-effects department. As for the writing, it at least shows flashes of promise. [19 Mar 1999]

Newsday by Steve Parks

Opens promisingly with a storyline that sets up a compelling premise for a serial adventure ... [but] is so visually arresting that the humanoid characters are upstaged. [14 Mar 1999]
