Starhyke (2009)
It's a good little show, it's not battlestar, red dwarf, hyperdrive... but it shows promise
I don't write reviews, but seeing some of the reviews I question the actual true intentions. One review here is fake... it's funny really how great these people feel by writing something so hateful, when really they should get a life.
Anyway, here's my honest review... and yes the show is far from perfect, but it is certainly not crap. I want to applaud the show's creators for giving it a go, when other reviewer's here are so far up themselves or so false they actually missed what a little gem this show has to offer.
(I posted this at FP so here you go) I've been wanting to see this series for years, now I have watched it, was it worth the wait? I went to FP after work grabbed my copy and invited a few friends around that evening.
Nice opening and excellent visual effects, then as we reached episode 3 it started to gather ground. Episode 4 was for me one of the best, ***SPOILER ALERT*** it brought me and my friends almost to tears watching the death of Claudia's son.
I grant you this won't be for everyone, Hyperdrive was not good - worst than Starhyke, but it got a second series, so now I want Starhyke to get given the same chance to see if they can improve it) Episode 5 & 6 are the best, the characters start to shine and the stories seem much tighter. The cliff hanger in Episode 6 made us all laugh, what a way to end a series. The music is good, acting is not bad, visual effects outstanding. all in all not a bad little UK series.
It was a great evening in with my friends, it's nice to have something different than all the macho sci-fi. My friends agreed it's nice to see such a strong female cast, so I'd give them A+ for trying and hopefully a chance to shine in a second series.
Is it worth watching? Yes, if you like carry on films and a series which is a bit rough around the edges, then you'll love this... otherwise don't bother as you'll be wanting your high glossy Star Trek or Battlestar products, which this is certainly not.
