Despite a cast that does their level best and a very brave and interesting concept, this series is an abysmal horror.
I borrowed the first DVD box set of 30 odd episodes and forced myself to wade through it. Why? I haven't the slightest notion. The effects are below bad and the canned music (what there is of it) cheap and overblown. The costumes are ugly and tawdry (with few exceptions) and the scripts are ho-hum.
The art design of the actual ship ILEA sometimes shows promise and originality, but more often just looks like the sets were built with the lowest value possible.
And yet... There is the cast of unknowns who are fighting to bring depth and humanity to their characters... I was sad to see that most of their careers ended with this horrible little series.
