Starhunter is probably one of the worst TV Si-Fi series I’ve ever seen. The spcripting is amature to say the least and the acting is worse than a school play. There really is nothing that I can say thats good about this show, its just terrible. Save yourself some money and don’t buy this rubbish. If you want some good underground si-fi the try Firefly or Invasion, something along those lines, or any series thats been produced using something more than the power of a chicken brain cell! (I only gave it one star because they made me! Minus stars would be more fitting…..)

Very much a “C” or “D” series – not as good as I had hoped it to be

I really wanted to like Starhunter. The premise is interesting and the universe is original, but it just doesn’t live up to it’s potential. The budget was obviously lacking. Sets are generally small and uninspired, the CGI work is marginal, and the special effects distract from rather than enhance the story.
Worse than that is the lackluster acting. The intro snippets by the crew’s bounty hunter agent are clever, but the only real cast members that draw you in are Percy and (with less consistency) Dante.
The real trouble with the show is that despite a fairly original premise and a bold real-space setting, it just comes out as a Firefly wanna-be. As if regular plot and aesthetic similarities weren’t enough, the composition of the ensemble reflects Joss Whedon’s masterpiece pound-for-pound (Mal=Dante, Kalee=Percy, Zoe=Luc). Unfortunately it is a poor substitute for more Serenity.
The only reason that I even made it past the second episode was an irresistible infatuation with Tanya Allen. Unless you’re already caught on her endearing warmth and charm, just go watch Firefly again instead.

Fooled by a few positive recommendations from friends and a few good reviews on Amazon I decided to give this series a shot. With the exception of the episode introductions which are decent, even fun there is absolutely nothing redeemable in this show.
I have watched bad Science Fiction in my time the last three seasons of X-Files leap to mind; its not that the series is bad because there are some good parts but the production values suck. You ever walked over broken glass? Like that.
I’ve seen better special effects in a movie in an MST 3000 showcase. This spoiled the first three episodes for me and I did not continue. I do not recommend this series to anyone.
