    The show's overall tone is less campy than the Flash Gordon movie, but it's more mature, and entertaining, than the old "Battlestar Galactica" or "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century" series.

    For all the comic-book fans who can't get enough of grown-ups carrying ray guns and discussing the destruction of planet Earth, pretty lame effects and super-stiff acting keep this from being really great camp.

    Badly written, badly cast and done on the cheap in the Canadian woods, Flash is the kind of fantasy toss-off that gives sci-fi, and Sci Fi, a bad name.

    I don't understand why this show is called flash gordon, if we ignore the newer, more realistic technology, the compleatly different Flash Gordon charicter and everything else the only thing that reminds me of the original show is the bad acting...if we look beyond the fact that this show is in no way flash gordon...well it still under performs when compared to even the worst of shows in the sci fi genra.… Expand

    I watched this show. And usually, I don't remember crap. I don't remember this, so I guess I know what that means.
