***SPOILERS*** ***SPOILERS*** And regrettably probably never will. This show was pure brilliance, and, like a number of innovative shows, gets subjected to inaccurate comparisons and also gets cancelled.
You can't compare this show to The X-Files, Brimstone, or, well, anything on TV except re-runs from 70s cop shows. And even then it's a poor comparison because I haven't seen a single one that has so many *quality* gags. It not only pokes fun at the afore-mentioned 70s cop shows (McNeill's afro, their constant screw ups, their assumptions that everything should go their way for no apparent reason, not to mention the appalling back projections whenever they're driving) but at Hollywood, vanity, religion and humanity in general.
This show not only works as an action/adventure show with it's great fight sequences and fairly good plots but also as a comedy show. Take for example **SPOILERS** "Roses are red, violets are blue. Have sex in the corps and I'll break your neck!" - Deacon Jones, or when Decker accidently detonates a morlock wrapped in explosives during a prisoner exchange, or Deacon Jones beating up four or five guys in a row whilst demonstrating morlock killing techniques. **END OF SPOILERS**
This show rocks. It is criminal they didn't make more. Watch any repeats you can find.
