I have never seen Captain Video but one of my old professors was a big fan. He told me the sets & effects were so bad that basically the “space suits” were a suit, tie & Styrofoam helmet! Every time I think of him (He was the EM guy & on my MS committee.) I tell myself I need to look for a Captain Video link on the internet and see if its that bad!
I'm not against watching long story arcs, but the trouble is that you do not know if you are investing a lot of time in something that might turn out to be not so great.
I've read that the TV series "Dark Shadows" was about to be canceled when the producer's son told his dad that he needed to put a "Ghost" into the show. The dad said "What the H3ll, we've got nothing to lose", and tried it.
The rest is history.
Can’t watch it. It gives me a message saying my browser is no longer supported. Will have to look at it later on my newer machine. :)
” ... investing a lot of time in something that might turn out to be not so great. ....”
Like when the GOT writers, producers, directors and actors produced GOT Season 8 - “Take the Money & Run” with the final episode titled “Laughing All the Way to the Bank Suckers”!
I just started last week watching the show "Breaking bad" with my sons.
I guess i'm just behind the times. :)
Me too.
RIP.
From what I've seen of the show, it seemingly has a strong Dr. Who vibe to it. Look forward to watching more of it in the future.

Funny you should say that about Dr Who. Terry Nation, who invented the Dr Who Dalek, created Blakes 7! You’ll also find an episode by science fiction writer Tanith Lee. This music video is a summary of that episode, Sarcophagus.
