This was alright!

Space Precinct I thought looked promising, it was an interesting little yarn with some interesting concepts and I liked the characters very much.

There were episodes with some pretty engaging plotlines though there were a few low points but this doesn't overshadow my opinion of the series which is a police series in outer space. There was a fair amount of chemistry which is clear in the cast. It was a series that had potential I was annoyed at its cancellation.

This was one of Gerry Anderson's promising works and I liked his work particuarly Captain Scarlett.
