Crusade (1999)
5/10
Overacting the series.
3 March 2017
While Babylon 5 suffered from a few over the top performances, in general its main cast and regulars were all accomplished actors.

Crusade on the other hand is jam packed full of terrible performances. From regulars like Galen who never met a syllable he didn't over emphasise, to a whole catalogue of terrible overly expressive bit parts, this show really has more than its fair share of over the top actors.

Whether it was a decision by the director or just poor acting, every episode contained at least one cringe inducing scene.

While the overall story was interesting and had huge potential some of the plots were very samey and one in particular was so bad, it approached Plan 9 levels of awful.

The special effects remind me of games of the same era, which is reasonable given they were all using the same technology, but it has dated very poorly.

There are a number of shows that were cancelled long before their time, Crusade was not one of them.
