I don't know how Season 4 turned out, but I do know that the first three seasons were incredible. I love the show and I just had to watch my Season One & Two DVD set followed by my Season Three DVD set.
The stories are intelligent and the special effects are quite impressive.
Since it was hard to decide whether this show, being pure escapism, should be a comedy or an adventure, it was decided to make it a little bit of both. The sliders were often in grave danger. Sometimes they only found themselves in an awkward situation. And the internal friction that sometimes surfaced, never really broke the team apart and in the end, the sliders were closer than they were in the beginning.
The one problem with the series was in the closing cliff hanger where the sliders land on another Earth, leaving the viewers to wonder what would happen next.
On the following episode, we find that the sliders are about to slide from a different Earth that has absolutely nothing to do with the Earth that the sliders had just slided into on the previous episode. So the episodes appear to be shown out of order.
Another problem is with the firing John Davis-Rhys from the series. This of course lead to Maximillion Arturo being killed on a later episode. Bad move no matter how you slice the pie! Maximillion Arturo was so perfect for the series. He was pompous and arrogant, yet it was clear that he used his arrogance to hide the fact that he was really extremely fond of Quinn Mallory and that he admired him as almost an intellectual equal. When Maximillion Arturo he died, a good part of the series died with him.
