Over 20 years later this show still holds up as original and prescient. It managed to combine under the general theme of evolution a complex discussion of our reliance on technology and animals, how we conceive of 'the other', the relationships between entrepreneurs, revolutionaries, organized crime, and governments, all while admitting to the absurdity of the sci-fi form and drama itself. Season 1 is standard and unremarkable but enjoyable, seasons 2-4 are where the series shines as perfected melodrama. Season 5 is not that great, overly focused on what it is to be beastial, however this was necessary to draw the series to conclusion. It's a true shame this show gets midling reviews, as its perfect melding of cast, concept, and writing should be enjoyed by all.
