Steven Linan Los Angeles Times 05/09/2018
Kevin Sorbo hops from Hercules to hokum with the debut of Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda, a been-there, zapped-that science-fiction show premiering today. Go to Full Review Ramin Zahed Variety 05/08/2018
It's doubtful that the show will be able to tackle the complex moral and philosophical dilemmas that were often explored on Star Trek: Next Generation, but it could offer a few campy laughs on a weekend afternoon. Go to Full Review Bruce Fretts Entertainment Weekly 05/05/2018
C-
After surviving a hilariously bad slow motion fight sequence and traveling three centuries into the future, Sorbo meets up with a band of misfit scavengers who may not be as bad as they seem, but make up for it by being twice as annoying. Go to Full Review Rob Owen Pittsburgh Post-Gazette 10/30/2019
It's kiddie-minded science-fiction with average special effects... and a set that was clearly built on a lower budget than the "Star Trek" shows. Go to Full Review Julian White Starburst 10/30/2019
9/10
It's bright, brash and doesn't take itself too seriously, while still just about steering on the right side of camp, and on the whole it's very endearing. Go to Full Review Tom Eames Digital Spy 05/08/2018
Sorbo's acting style makes William Shatner look like Daniel Day Lewis. But if you remotely like sci-fi, we also bet you'll find yourself sucked into this nostalgia-fest in no time. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Ethan C @Ethan694 12/08/2023 Season 1 is probably some of the best sci-fi I’ve ever seen. A highly likable cast and an easy show to recommend. See more David W @Sternhammer 10/22/2023 Some very likeable characters, some decent fx, a good story arc and some really good episodes. Liked it a lot. See more Steve B @Captain_Killjoy 10/07/2023 A great space opera with great characters you get attached to. See more Greg the killswitch C @RT82194455 05/06/2023 Just started to watch andromeda halfway into season 1, decent sci-fi series so far sometimes it lacks story and characters get lost on why they are doing what they are doing it for...special effects are pretty good See more Shawn P @RT58464805 02/24/2023 Pretty good! Compared to Star Trek story telling it is not on the same level but considering the budget I think it does all right. And like TOS Star Trek, sometimes it has amazing stories and other times the stories are fairly weak. See more 03/24/2020 It's from 2000, so expect it to look dated, but with 5 seasons, any sci-fi fan should watch it. See more Read all reviews
