Hugely entertaining...Among the new spring series I've seen, Sliders stands out as the most enjoyable. "What-might-have-been" is usually a pointless exercise, but here it makes for some rousing entertainment. Read full review

As for Sliders: If you're game, it will transport you. [22 March 1995, p.1D]

Series Has Laughs, Thrills. [22 March 1995, p.49]

The drama is sci-fi lite, rendered with gee-whiz energy and a sense of levity. And it's frivolous and under-imagined. Read full review

Unlike "X-Files" and "VR.5," however, Sliders wants to be humorous while offering an exciting weekly quest. It tries to be cute while the heroes struggle to find a way "home." The cuteness quickly becomes a liability. At times, the comic element turns weak and the characters risk seeming cartoon-like. In the end, "Sliders" may appeal to a younger audience, an audience less concerned with science and fantasy than with comedic adventure. And that will be just fine with Fox. [21 March 1995]

Though O’Connell’s Mallory is fun to watch, he too often mirrors a college-age Marty McFly. And with the addition of his physics professor (John Rhys-Davies) to the team of sliders, the show takes on strains of a “Back to the Future” rehash. Read full review

Incoherent, overwrought, and ridiculous. Read full review

While Sliders did have some flaws, it was still one of my favourite TV shows, however, the ending didn't make that much sense to me. It is a great show to watch if you can get into it's style of killing off the main characters.

I'm personally a fan of science fiction, especially topics like this. The first episodes are entertaining and watchable with a variety of topics but after a while it becomes a bit boring but in any case who loves science fiction will not regret it.
