"Farscape" is a show about an astronaut, John Crichton, who was testing his own theories on gravitational propolsion. The experiment went array when all of a sudden, a wormhole formed and accidentally sucked the spacecraft into the unknown section of space. Along the way, he encountered a living ship full of escaped convicts while he himself is running away from a madman who thinks he killed his brother. Now, he must ally himself with the escaped convicts in order to survive and find a way to get back home.

This show is probably the best sci-fi show in the space genre. It has good writing and the chemistry between the characters are great, especially between Aeryn and Crichton. Also, it is quite unique hwo they overcame the language barrier that most sci-fi shows seem to neglect...that aliens do not speak English! They address this issue in the beginning by a fairly good idea called "translator microbes" injected to each character. This show is a Jim Henson production, so you will see puppets. However, the puppets do not interfere with the human aspect of the show. Farscape stands alone on its own, never having to live under the shadow of sci-fi monster like "Star Trek" and "Babylon 5". It doesn't merely live under the banner of sci-fi, but also under the genre of good entertainment.
