It feels like a cult show from the 90s in the "stuff that's better than it ought to be" category.— PatrickFreyne (@PatrickFreyne1) May 7, 2021I just finished watching #Intergalactic on #skyoneLoved it. Want more. Give us season 2 sky.— Conor Clancy (@Oldgaminggeezer) May 7, 2021Really enjoyed Intergalactic. It does remind me of some of the Canadian series made by the Syfy channel. A strong female lead cast. Another dystopian future, with echoes of Blake's 7. I'm hoping Sky One commission a second season. #intergalatic #skyone #sciencefiction pic.twitter.com/2edKZOd0sM— Richy Who (@RichardHarris73) May 9, 2021#intergalactic , a great series that channels the best of #Blakes7 with set pieces swashbuckling along to keep you coming back for more, season 2 please #sky #scifi pic.twitter.com/PHlv2wv7fg— lee r jones (@lrjartist) May 11, 2021Well...people usually underestimate "Sky Originals". Although more good stuff will come. Also, peacock has the rights to show Intergalactic in the usa. So maybe more people.— Savi (@splitinbyte) May 8, 2021Enjoyed the first episode of Intergalactic - that Sky show that sounds a lot like Blake’s 7. Can’t say I’m totally enraptured, but I’m intrigued enough to stick around for episode 2.— Hannah Cooper (@MrsSimonTemplar) May 6, 2021I binge watched that new series Intergalactic on SKY the last few days and despite it's obviously political angles, it was still rather good fun.— Singularis (@Liberdade80) May 11, 2021Also read: “It’s Scorsese’s re-imagining of Tootsie”: Twitter erupts as Leonardo DiCaprio is dubbed "unrecognizable" in Killers of the Flower MoonTrailerThe trailer for “Intergalactic” offers a glimpse into its breathtaking galactic visuals and Ash’s journey from a space cop to a prisoner.If readers enjoy “Intergalactic,” the following are a few similar sci-fi dramas currently streaming on Netflix:Jupiter's legacyStar Wars: The Bad BatchOxygenAnother Life
