Brief synopsis of Blake's 7 - Series 2

In the third century of the second calendar, after the chaos of the intergalactic wars, a powerful dictatorship has risen to dynamic proportions and engulfed most of the populated worlds. Liberty has become a crime punishable by death, and the majority of the population lives in a drug-induced state of docility. This tyrannical authority fulfils George Orwell’s prophecy of 1984 to its most terrifying extremes. This government is known as the Federation. Each world has its share of rebels who either turned to crime or the Resistance. This is the story of one such group of rebels, led by a man named Blake. His group is largely composed of escaped convicts, thieves and smugglers, who are thrown together by chance. Episode List: Redemption; Shadow; Weapon; Horizon; Pressure Point; Trial; Killer; Hostage; Countdown; Voice From The Past; Gambit; The Keeper; Star One

Rated - 1 starsa bit of a let down

Brian from London , 27/06/2006

after a relatively interesting first series (though hardly a total rip-snorter), this second series is an enormous let-down

each episode struggles to hold interest for the full 50 minutes (often losing-steam within the first 10 minutes) - the acting reaches new heights of HAM - the dialogue between the baddies tries to aspire to Shakespeare, but the only 'Richard the Third' I could think of was rhyming-slang - the plots were unimaginative (land on planet - have a run in with baddies - escape)

to be honest, I couldn't care less if any of the 'heroes' lived or died

Rated - 2 starsSo so

A customer from Cheltenham, England , 11/08/2007

The real let-down for this series is the introduction of a new Travis (Brian Croucher) - he's absolutely pathetic compared to Stephen Greif from series 1. And I mean really, REALLY bad. Steve Coogan could have done a better job than Mr. Croucher.

Apart from that more of the same... well less actually as any pretence to a 'mission' vanishes in a series of unrelated episodes.

Still, the over acting and crap special effects are good for a few laughs.

The second series is not as good as the first however it still makes for an enjoyable time watching the show.
