This show lacks currency even for the early 90's. It is full of 1950's attitudes to women, to people for whom English is a second language (the Asian appearing gentlemen whose mastery of the language was less than any of the aliens), its not science fiction when such stereotypes are just transplanted onto a different planet. There is no evidence of cultural growth or change, the cop who couldn't afford to get food out of the machine - really?! Does he have a secret gambling problem? No - just the stereotype of the underpaid public service employee, even the aliens have patriarchal social structures, monogamous, 'little woman at home' cultures. As for the shitty son of Brogan who disobeys his mothers' instructions but jumps to obey daddy whilst being just a bit rebellious about going 'downtown' - hello, disrespect for women! As well as Haldane and his attitude to his female co-worker. It's not sci fi, just a second rate cop show based in the 1950's, forget the makeup, & the tech toys - even they are mundane.
