Sliders seasons 1 + 2

Sliders A tv show that i grew up with in my youth i remember watching it on bbc2 when they used to show scifi at like 6pm, i remember watching it and it was always sparking of my imagination, about what if's i suppose its kind of the reason i am a bit of an alternative history fan.

so when reviewing this series some of the early episodes are full of great ideas like what if the ussr invaded the usa and other things like that however if you think about most of them they are quite flawed but its the sort of show that you have to suspend some thinking but thats escapism for you jsut sit there and let them tell a story.  however as the dvds go deep into series 2 you do begin to get some worlds were you do think what the fuck happened here to end up with this cause of events for example one world were the young dominate society. Also towards the end of season 2 we saw the creation and use of the Kromags...... an evil race evolved on another earth

the good points 


well one of the main good points of this show for the first season or two is the sheer volume of ideas of things they could do yeah one or two of them are a bit crazy and off the wall but they were good and sure one or two of the epiosdes did make me think about things and what they would be like if......

another good point of the series are the charecters and especially how they play off each other the main one that i want to point out for being awesome is professor Maxamillian Arturo i just found this charecter brilliant and his reactions and everything are awesome and if you ask me sliders begun to lose its way when john rhys-davies left i just felt it created such a huge void in the show that they never recovered from,

also something that is fun is that its mainly episodic i can put any disc in the dvd player and hey presto i can jump into any episode no reall continuous viewing required

the bad points 


There are some huge plot holes in these episodes that just scream what the fuck this is bull shit at you, and make your eyes roll and sometimes there are worlds that just make you have no interest, i always dread and shudder when I hear they are in a world were there are dinosaurs i am just not interested and these episodes can drag and drag.

Overall


its good escapist fun give it a try overall 8/10
