It was a fun ride while it lasted. The writing was pretty good, as it balanced action with character development, and the world building was not bad (could have easily been better though). The casting was pretty good, although the woman that played 5 could not overcome the fact that she did not look the age group of her character (no fault in her acting). The premise was novel for a TV series, and it made the multiple converging and diverging plot lines make adequate sense. Some good supporting actors, largely borrowed from other series that were ongoing at the time, worked well. The show had a good look to it, and the ship The Raza (sp?) was great. The Achilles Heel of the show would have to be the fact that the biggest and baddest villains in the galaxy make a grand entrance in the final episode (season 3) and . . . The show was cancelled. Ouch. Seriously. I watched it on TV when it first came out, and I watched it again over a few days recently. It was still entertaining. One note, is that another show called Killjoys was out at the same time, and I think that this was the better of the two shows.
