I've seen the whole show recently, and I'm rather disappointed.
It's not that it's bad, but it's far, far from good. And far, far from a show that deserves 10 seasons, 2 movies, and 2 spin-offs.
I'm a great fun of the movie, and I was generally excited to see the series. I got myself to watch the dreadful 1st season, cursing my life, and hoping it gets better.
And it did, I must admit. Half way by season 2, I was already a fan, I liked the team, the main story, and, most of all, I enjoyed the humor. It only had two flaws, that later I found out that further in the series just get worse; first, the story was developing terribly slow, and second, the characters always stayed the same. There was only a minor, almost negligent character development throughout the whole series.
All this though, was easy to get by in series 2 through 5. But then, things got terribly worse. Even the humor got repetitive, the story even more slower, and the story arcs ended in the worst way imaginable.
That's for seasons 6 through 8. i won't even comment the last two and the movies.....
So, basically, as a fan to good sci-fi, I wouldn't recommend this to a peer. But i give 5 out of 10 for the little enjoyment this series gave me, for the fact that it helped me realize that other shows I've seen and thought are bad are not so bad, and from respect to the large fan base this series generated. After all, maybe It's only me who looks at it this way :)
