  ## Reviews and Production
  
  Prior to release the series was highly anticipated and praised by critics, but the ratings fell short of expectations. Following poor reviews Sat. 1 announced on 27 December 2005 that the series would be discontinued after the first season (13 episodes); a continuation of the series had originally been planned.
  
  The complete series was first released on DVD on 24 March 2006 as a set of four discs.
