For those who aren’t familiar with the series, Farscape tells the story of astronaut John Crichton (Ben Browder) who has accidentally been hurled across a thousand galaxies to an alien world during an experimental space flight. In his mission to return to Earth, he finds himself aboard a starship populated by escaping political prisoners from various alien cultures. As John tries his best to survive in a world he barely understands, he must always be one step ahead of the Peacekeepers, a race of deadly mercenaries who will stop at nothing to capture him.

Also starring Claudia Black, Virginia Hey, Anthony Simcoe, and Gigi Edgley, among many others, Farscape has been named by TV Guide as the fourth best cult TV show of all time, following Star Trek, The X-Files, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It also won 2 Saturn Awards and got nominated for an Emmy.
