About
"A war drama that just happens to be interstellar"
Set in a near-future war against a hostile alien species, this short-lived series follows a squad of Marine fighter pilots, several of them lab-grown and treated as second-class citizens, as they're thrown into brutal combat against a mysterious enemy. It plays like a gritty war drama transplanted into space, more concerned with camaraderie, loss, and the grind of combat than spectacle. The tone is somber and earnest, carried by a tight ensemble cast and surprisingly grounded stakes for a mid-90s sci-fi show.
the grounded, grunt's-eye view of interstellar war that trades spectacle for genuine camaraderie and loss.
you want lighthearted sci-fi, since the tone stays bleak and the story ends on an unresolved cliffhanger.
