Earth 2 is Worth Exploring!,
This review is from: Earth 2 - The Complete Series (1994) (DVD)
I probably would have given Earth 2 a 4 or 4.5 star rating, but I feel I have to help compensate for the last reviewer (and only other one on here so far) who gave it such an undeserved poor review. I think Earth 2 was a show well ahead of its time. It is a fascinating concept, which becomes an epic journey across this alien world and also a journey into the hearts and minds of the characters.
The acting in the series was outstanding, and the scripts gave a lot of material to almost all of the actors, at different times. The story concepts varied as the show went along, partly due to this being a series trying to find its feet. While the last reviewer didn't enjoy the variety in the story concepts, I did - to me this represents the journey on this alien world, where things are not always as they seem and adventures come in unexpected ways. The special effects were mostly minimal through a lot of episodes, but the effects in the Pilot episode alone are worthy of an outstanding rating. The aliens were mysterious, fascinating, realistic, and ALIEN - exactly what they should have been. The cinematography was always a highlight - this is a beautifully staged and filmed series. The thing about Earth 2 is that it's a bit of a thinking person's sci-fi series. You have to be in it for the long haul, and have an attention span longer than 45 minutes, to really be able to appreciate the subtleties and potential of the program. I do highly recommend it to those who have fond memories, and also to those who enjoy a good, involving sci-fi adventure. I wish Earth 2 had been given longer to find its way, but as it is it's a show treasured by a dedicated fan following, and so ultimately it was a success and lives on with each of us who enjoys watching it. I hope you'll enjoy watching Earth 2, also!

This was a great albeit short-lived series - was impressed with the presentation and thoroughly enjoyed rewatching the episodes. Highly recommend to anyone who loves scifi. First season better than second.
