Starhunter (2000–2004)
2/10
Season one. Dire.

Did I actually watch the same show as the other reviewers here?

I have no argument with the sfx: low budget doesn't necessarily mean low quality. The spacecraft were interesting, some of them quite beautiful, and the basic plot an intriguing one - which is why the dreadful execution is so infuriating.

The acting was at best mediocre, with the bad guys' overacting horribly cringe-worthy. At the end Tanya Allen looked and sounded as bored and half-sleep as I was through most of the episodes.

I found none of the characters likeable. Montana has to be the most inept and tedious bounty hunter ever, and Percy just comes across as a very irritating Mary-Sue. Luc came closest to being a decent character, though even she struggled with the out-of-character lines she was given at times. The less said about Rudolpho the better...

Starhunter is seriously disappointing. Canadian productions are usually good, sound, high-quality works: why this one went so wrong is a mystery to me. But we won't be watching any more of it.
