Review of Starhyke

Starhyke (2009)
9/10
Sci Fi Comedy, with hints to Classic Comedy routines
7 January 2010
Leaves that 'other' recent attempt at SF Humour, (Hyperdrive) flapping in the wind (More 'Hyped-UP-Drive' than Hyperdrive) Takes a couple of episodes to get going... and get used to..But well worth the time and effort

There is so much potential in this series..... It could easily match, and possibly exceed the pedestal that Red Dwarf currently inhabits.

Claudia Christian as 'Captain Belinda Blowhard' manages to carry off a very good comedy roll, so different to her other well known SF Roll as 'Cmdr. Susan Ivanova' in Babylon 5

Jeremy Bulloch (Ex Star Wars, Bounty Hunter, Boba Fett), provides some very interesting Diversions as the very drunk and fairly oversexed Doctor, 'Yul Striker'.

The stories are actually interesting and well executed with effects that are Top Notch (from Britain's answer to 'Industrial Light and Magic', the one and only 'Lightworx'.)

Do yourself a favour and watch all 6 episodes of the first series....

..and pray for a second..!!!
