Great Little Known SciFi
"Total Recall 2070" is a very well written well made Showtime TV show, from start to finish. Made in 1999, it has good charcters. Starring Michael Easton, from ABC soaps, "Port Charles" and "One Life To Live", showcases his ability to portray the somewhat disgruntled cop. Don't let the title fool you, it is really based on "Blade Runner" but they couldn't the rights to title the show "Blade Runner 2070". It captures the feel of the Blade Runner world very well. The effects are not top notch, very early CGI looking, like the "Babylon 5" show, but gets the job done in a great overall arcing story for the whole season. Very good charcters, acting and great continuity writing, made this one of the best scifi shows no one saw. The actor Karl Pruner, that plays Easton's partner, Favre (Yes, like Brett Favre), does as good as job as an andriod as Brent Spiner did as Data. Too bad it was only on Showtime and couldn't find an audience.

Unsung
This little noticed show was underrated and only lasted one excellent season. Well conceived and executed, good acting and directing leaves one wanting more. Unique, very enjoyable. One trip to Mars, not much in common with the movie.
