Do I want to watch this show?

An expensive syfy show... Who'd've thunk..?

Too expensive to justify keeping it on air if they don't have great viewing figures.

Every show fights that balance.

Ok, pilot done, dusted. Overall, I'm still in for some more.

Yes indeed, some Sfx were a bit... Poorly realized... But not too glaring to distract. Bit of a Deadwood feel to it, which isn't a bad thing.

If you keep watching, I'd say you may like the later seasons even more.

This was definitely never a 'perfect' show, not sure I'd call it great either, but it definitely has good moments and can be a lot of fun in the Farscape way. (Vfx were always jarring, for one, maybe except the finale.)
