This series was part of a pack of shows which was on in earnest during the late 1980s - Friday the 13th the Series, War of the Worlds, Werewolf, and Freddy's Nightmares to just name a few. The acting and camera style is literally identical across all of these series and the coloring of the film often portrays everything as drab and dark. It is a very good series but is often grouped into "one of those shows" which premiered in 1987 and then was cancelled by the time of the early 90s. A lot of the same actors, the same themes, and ironically most of them wound up also playing roles on Star Trek: The Next Generation with the more series players, like Hamilton and Perlman going on to roles in major films.
