  Science Pornography
  
  I was excited to see this series. I love sci-fi and odyssey 5 came up as a recommendation associated with other series I have enjoyed. I completely regret wasting my money on this series. I could not even finish the first, rated-R episode filled with crass inuendo, followed by total nudity and sex, and seasoned by copious colorful metaphors including around 10 uses of the "F-word" in only PART of the first episode.
  
  If you are the kind of person who enjoys this kind of content, the story line was showing some promise.
  
  Kids should never be within hearing range of this show.

  God by machine
  
  Except for the late lack of coherent time line
  the series is well written and well acted.
  The alien space craft the rescues them when
  they run out of CO2 scrubbed air,
  makes the series possible. Time travel has been argued as impossible,
  but that is four dimensional physics which is entirely outmoded.
  The idea of super-beings inhabiting the Internet
  and making androids is one of the major features
  of this movie. That NASA has become a government agency
  that even vets of it don't really trust becomes obvious
  very soon.
  I loved this series and wish I had seen it.
  Not a Star Trek, but sci fi TV is now rare
  and seems to not survive long?

  Awesome series that needs to be brought back
  
  If I could give this rating 4.5 stars I would. This was a hard series to write. On one hand if you like Sci-Fi (and don't mind it being of a strictly adult audience) this series was awesome. On the other hand it ended with a somewhat cliff-hanger finale that never saw continuation. You'll get the questions from the pilot answered but be left hanging on so many more questions that develop in the course of the season.
  
  The writing, acting, and plots are superb and easily stands up with the best of any television in the Sci-Fi genre or out of it. This show should be picked up and continued right now if there were more execs with brains in the entertainment industry (which we've seen by cancellations of shows like Star Trek, Firefly, Babylon 5 there aren't).
  
  The warning for some audiences is that this show was made for Showtime and contains plenty of profanity and nudity. Not excessively so and it doesn't distract for me from story but we strictly watch it when children aren't around. Make an informed decision for yourself if that qualifies or disqualifies it for your household!

  The Best Science Fiction Series ever made for TV....
  
  I've been a science fiction buff for 50 years. This is the best science fiction series I ever saw on television--science fiction without fantasy. Believable, intelligent writing and a perfect cast. The story draws you in, and won't let you go. You'll watch it over and over, and wish there was more. Manny, please push to finish the story.

  Alienographer
  
  Odyssey 5 was a nicely laid out plot about the destruction of our planet while 6 people were manning a space flight, who were given a chance to go back 5 years in time to find out how the Earth was destroyed.
  
  The very first thing I loved about their return to Earth was their futile attempts not to upset the previous timeline, not realizing that their return already began setting in motion a series of time-line changing events.
  
  The show sets up more than one plausible explaination and narrows them down to one reasonable conclusion and one enemy.
  
  The acting, writing, and direction was top notch. And Love, Love, Love producer Tracy Torme~ who also had her hand in another Sci-fi show called Sliders.
