The Martian Chronicles was criminally maimed here in Brazil on VHS's era where it was release compressed around 220 minutes only, which I gave a low rate when I got a transfer copy, at last is has his ultimate restoration on full length as conceived, the Expeditions should be quite good, if they spent much time on those endless clichés, if Ray Bradbury's novel was wrote as shown on this production I really don't know, nevertheless the characters were poorly developed as the astronaut Briggs who is playing and mocking all around, such behavior doesn't fits well in a spaceman who was properly trained many years before, undoubtedly a low budge production, we can see clearly on the lousy Rocket aesthetics, Rock Hudson is too old to be there, Darren McGavin neither, both miscasting scratching the series's credibility, in other hand the visual concepts is fairly artsy on Mars's city, also the character Major Jeff Spencer was the unique astronaut who was able to be there, the others were drinking, how it was a picnic, spare us, after all it's an Martian expedition, the Martians are plausible and resourceful at least, my first feelings presuppose an average production!!!
