Starhyke

At first, I thought it was a cartoon. The special effects were just animations.

The script and acting was atrocious, but worst of all was the background music.

This music single handedly ensured I stopped watching after the first fifteen minutes. Why oh why have such annoying music playing all the time? There is no rhyme or reason to it, and doesn't change with what's happening on screen.

Terrible.

Caught this on Amazon after noticing Claudia Christian from Babylon 5 was a lead.

I do not like panning shows, but I got through three episodes of this before I gave up. I spent a good deal of that time shaking my head, uttering 'this is so bad!' I read that some have said it gets better. I can only hope it does, but somehow I know it won't get better enough for me. It is just not funny: the scenes are unbearably long; the face pulling and over-acting is relentless; the storylines forgotten; the sets bland and claustrophobic. I've also read reviews favouring it over Hyperdrive. Whilst Hyperdrive was not brilliant, it was a lot better than this and had experienced comic actors who could get the best out of a script.

I came here in a state of shock at how appalling bad this series is. I had never heard of it before, but saw this starred an actor I enjoyed in Babylon 5. You can see people put a lot of time and effort into it, a lot of skill, but the whole is just awful. Incomprehensible story and characters, drab and claustrophobic sets and cinematography, terrible score and sound design, and humour so mild or so lame it's barely recognizable as even an attempt at comedy. Not even so bad it's good territory. I feel bad for the people who worked on this and where let down by producers, writers and directors.

I love sci-fi, am a huge fan of Claudia Christian in the Babylon 5 universe and I love sci-fi comedy like Red Dwarf, The Orville etc. But they need to have a decent plot and the humour has to be well...funny. This is just bad slapstick with lots of sexual jokes with a weak ill thought out plot set in sci-fi spaceship setting. The acting is awful. Even Claudia - by far the best in the cast - isn't at her best. If you must torture yourself, watch it with friends and have something else going on,.

This series is just not funny. I bought it from ebay after seeing Claudia Christanson was in it. Loved her in Babylon Five but I can only assume she is in need of a quick pay slip if she agreed to do this.

Starhyke is a comedy without any jokes. There is no real plot beyond the basic idea, each script just feels like nobody cared. That as long as there was a long enough running time nobody involved in making this cared what anyone said or did.

claudia does her best but seems slightly bemused, jeremy bullock and the actors who played reg and vilma make more effort than this deserves but the rest of the cast do literally nothing to make this better.

FX are decent but even fan films have good x these days.
