It's known, but not iconic. Maybe in the US. |
I described it in the OP because I'm not a messy member only leaving one sentence in the OP
Plus it IS a 20 year old show. A description is only fair to its impact

That said, as an avid sci-fi fan, I thought the show could have been better. I prefer serialized storytelling over monster-of-the-week things, and the way this show flip flopped between the two was jarring. We'd have a big AMAZING two parter in which SO MUCH stuff went down, it would end with SO MUCH up in the air, and then we'd have 5 monster-of-the-weeks in which none of that stuff gets referenced and we're supposed to just stop caring about it, then all of a sudden we'd have another Mytharc episode.
Criticisms aside, though - as a whole, it was quite an enjoyable show.

I just started season 2 and while I do like seeing a new monster every week (it makes for an intriguing spin on thought provoking topics), I do agree. I would kind of like to have more arcs to keep the continuity flowing. The second part of the Tooms case in season one was so random it took me a few minutes to remember that happened episodes ago
