The New EmuParadise Fallout: you are reviled

Shatner doesn't really star, he's just playing a character that's there a fair bit at the beginning. Later on you don't see him so much.
He wrote the books the show/movies were based on.

What is commonly referred to as season 1 is actually 4 tv movies, the following season is actually a series of 18 episodes.
The movies are TekWar, TekLords, TekLab, TekJustice.

I'm still pissed that I bought the "complete series" on DVD for $20, stuck it in my DVD player, and discovered it didn't have the movies. Then a couple months later I spotted an actual complete set for $15, which I couldn't bring myself to buy because I didn't know what I'd do with my incomplete series.

Is it any good ?

I think it's ok for a 90's show, certainly not fantastic but it had a lower budget than other stuff.
I only got around to watching it all in recent years never saw the whole thing way back when it was fresh. The Total Recall series is another one I never saw back then.

Both are sci-fi detective type shows.

Sounds like I might enjoy them, did TR get a DVD release?

I think Total Recall 2070 complete series DVD is Japan or US/Canada only. Japanese release has English/Japanese audio.
There's an uncut Canadian release that is more recent (2011) than the original R1 releases and that would be the one to get if you're keen...the earlier R1 release is cut (I suspect based on US broadcast).
The only digital versions I'm aware of are very low quality.

I watched it back when it was broadcast (that weird weekend noon-ish time block that ran Hercules The Legendary Journeys and shit) and loved it as a teenager. Pretty sure Nika caused my short haired blond fetish.

I still enjoy it. You do need to be able to tolerate 90's TV though.
