    It’s campy and a little cheesy, but in a good way.

    I tried to watch 2, maybe 3 episodes, I can't recall. Each episode, I watched a couple of scenes. None of them could hold my interest. So II tried to watch 2, maybe 3 episodes, I can't recall. Each episode, I watched a couple of scenes. None of them could hold my interest. So I gave up each time and then quit entirely.

    I don't criticize the plot because I couldn't really get into it, obviously.
    However all the action that happened on screen looked like stuff I've seen many times before with no hint of a new take on them. Also, many sets looked kind of improvised (or it's just me).
    This and the scenes and the interactions between the characters made the show unwatchable for me.
    It was what the characters said, the way they said it, the relationships between them the scenes conveyed...I kept saying to myself 'Ugh, this is not good!'.

    I don't now what about this exactly put me off.
    Maybe it was a combination of bad dialog writing and not so great acting.
    I don't want to trash the actors. The are mostly young and maybe not that experienced and did what they could.
    Maybe one seasoned, good actor/actress could elevate the material and pull the other actors/actresses along, but that's speculative.

    I know, the show is on a budget, but so are and were other shows, like 'Dark Matter' (cancelled too early, of course) or even 'Killjoys', which I didn't enjoy much. But even 'Killjoys', not that good, was better than 'Vagrant Queen'.
    Or how about 'Van Helsing'? One of my favorite shows, not expensive looking, no fancy effects, but good characters and a compelling and suspenseful story. It can be done.
    You can balance out many things with good writing.

    Some people might somehow find 'Vagrant Queen' a kind of campy piece of fun.
    I, myself, couldn't help thinking that it is lacking in so many ways that it is way below my basic requirement for acceptable entertainment.
    This show has so much room for improvement it's inexplicable that it is the way it is.
    And for what ever reason(s) it is like that...Stop it!    … Full Review »

    Сериал очень дешёвый, немного компьютерных спецэффектов и декорации в которых можно узнать повседневные вещи нашей современности (а сериал проСериал очень дешёвый, немного компьютерных спецэффектов и декорации в которых можно узнать повседневные вещи нашей современности (а сериал про другую галактику). Сюжет во многом перекликается с сюжетом "На краю вселенной" тот был трэш, и этот сериал тоже трэш. Протагонисты очень тупые и выживают за счет везения. И ладно бы если комедия, но тут всё на серьезных щах, так что не стоит смотреть.… Full Review »

Every week it's a kaleidoscope of new aliens, new places, new ships, new cultures. I can't believe the diversity and imagination that went into creating it. As the characters develop and the plot thickens, I can't wait to see what happens in the next episode. I just finished watching episode 8, and if you want a one-shot episode to hook you on the show, that one was pretty epic.… Full Review »
