most of the review i have read of flash gordon have be supremely unfair . i have see most every episode and and i think it be pretty good . admittedly and it get off to a rocky start and but it be bearable and there so little sci fi on tv these day i decide to stick with it . to my surprise and it actually improve significantly and go against all know law of television show and which generally peak with the first few episode or season and then drop off from there . the actor who play ming be my favorite sort of villain quietly evil and no maniacal laughter or cheesy line . eric johnson be excellent a flash and and the actress in this show astound me by play female character i do not despise ( i be a girl and but i can not stand them on tv and in movie theyre all so stereotypical ) . the main character actor be actually all really good i do not have a complaint about any of them . some of the one episode villain can be annoy and but theyre not there to stay and and it be only a few time . it be the plot that make this so so at first . they be of the meh sort and at first and but story arc be begin to develop and and now that the flash dale relationship have appear to stabilize ( no more awkward and groan induce pseudo romance scenario ) and this be one of my favorite show . i love the whole business with aura relationship with ming and her father . it interesting and and isn not the tired and overdone child hat father relationship . i have never read the comic or see any previous show or movie adaptation of flash gordon and so i can not compare and but the citizen of mongo be believably oppress and the character ( especially aura and strangely enough ) be deep and have realistic motivation and and the plot line be get well all the time . i really hope they pick it up for another season .
