What to Know

Critics Consensus

Stargate SG-1 whisks viewers into new and eccentric realms, but lacks much dimension in an awkward inaugural season that feels like a chintzy downgrade from its motion picture forebear while also signaling better things to come.

What makes it good are the jokes, the actors, and the great ideas the writers keep throwing out. Go to Full Review Robert Hanks Independent (UK) May 1, 2018
There was an appropriately makeshift feel about most of the script: like any MacGyver device, it was a terrible mess, but in its clumsy, unconvincing way, it did the job. Go to Full Review Tony Scott Variety May 1, 2018
Two-hour telepilot's superficial characters wander through their roles without stirring a modicum of conviction. Go to Full Review Lauren Busser Tell-Tale TV Jun 21, 2018
Wright and Glassner had to make some changes to the film storyline, like the location of Abydos, but for the most part, it's pretty much the same. Go to Full Review Alexander Joenks Pajiba Jun 15, 2018
Well, it was a fun show for its time, a good reliable hour every week. Go to Full Review Joe Julians What Culture May 1, 2018

Kali S @Kgam3r Jul 22, 2026 This is the beginning of the best TV show of all time. The show blends mythology with space travel in a fun and funny way. Richard Dean Anderson is so funny in this show and I am laughing every episode. Stargate SG1 is a must watch for all sci-fi fans. See more Tom M @Captommo Mar 27, 2026 Did Richard Dean Anderson kiss carter's neck after she attacked him? Fun enough - a little too much feminism for me but it's not dominant. See more Heather R @RT78949543 Mar 24, 2025 The best tv series ever. I have watch it probably 5-6 times. I love all of the Stargate series, See more Coopernikus B @RT87784742 Jun 19, 2024 One of the best Sci-Fi Shows of all time! See more Jason C @RT10160491 Jun 18, 2024 One of the greats. Please don’t reboot this franchise Hollywood. See more L G @RT14209116 Jan 13, 2023 I love this show way more then the stargate movie. It expands the lore and universe of the show and this the first season is the slow first steps of our race into the stars. Love how realistic it is how a good military team and leader can show our humanity and compassion as well as our ability to adapt and face greater enemies then we knew existed. You cant miss this amazing odyssey that gives you different things then you can get from star Trek or star wars. See more Read all reviews
