Synopsis
A science-fiction program with a unique and malleable conceit, Sliders was among the most popular shows of its genre during the 1990s. Quinn Mallory (Jerry O'Connell) is a 20-something genius who has invented a device that allows him to travel through dimensions. He invites his friend Wade and Professor Maximillian Arturo to witness his first operation of the device, which goes horribly wrong. Following the third-series climax that sent Wade and the professor back home, Quinn continues his fantastic adventures in this fourth series. Joined by former soul singer Rembrandt Brown (Cleavant Derricks), Captain Maggie Beckett (Kari Wuhrer), and Quinn's brother Colin (Charlie O'Connell, a new addition), the group find themselves hurtling through alternate dimensions, battling the Kromagg Dynasty, and searching for the elusive Earth Prime.

3.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable but flawed, 25 Mar 2008
By Jimmy Lovesey (Cardiff, South Wales) - See all my reviews
After Season 3 of Sliders the show was axed by Fox but luckily for fans the show was saved by the Sci Fi channel.

Season 3 was a changeover year for Sliders and unfortunately Season 4 suffers in its wake. The show moved away from the more intelligent allegorical stories that were prevalent in the first two seasons and replaced it with glossy and flash sci-fi fantasy stuff that was passable but not particularly gripping. Production moved from San Francisco to Sunny California so it lost a lot of its atmosphere and mood, and the excellent John Rhys Davies was axed in favour of Kahri Wuhrer purely to up the "t&a" quotient.

So with Season 4 the move also lost Sabrina Lloyd as the female lead, making it even more of an uphill struggle. The producers decided to focus on the alien Kromaggs (a one off in Season 2) to try and give the show some focus, and added Jerry O'Connel's real life brother Nick to play Quinn's brother-from-another-world to replace Lloyd.

All in all Season 4 has a better mix of tales than Season 3, but its still not great, and unfortunately the show would never again reach the heights of its first two seasons.

3.0 out of 5 stars Sliders series 4, 7 April 2008
By A. White "The Vertical" (Northampton, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I watched the whole of this series back when it was on tv and I have to say that series 4, despite it's issues and the lack of the excellent Arturo, was all around good tv. I'll be ordering this boxed set just so I can watch a much darker, grittier version of an awesome sci fi show play itself out on my tv again.

HANDS UP IF YOU WANT SLIDERS AND FIREFLY TO GET ANOTHER SERIES!

2.0 out of 5 stars Be Warned!!!, 22 Mar 2009
SPOILER FREE:

Some points I wish I'd known before buying:

Sliders changed, BIG TIME, from season three to season four, really it was forced to by waning popularity and new ownership.

It is basically a separate show retaining some of the original aspects but with a totally new storyline and attitude both in the script, acting, direction and production.

There is actually some horribly hammy acting from time to time with even the good actors slipping occasionally from the high standards that could have been. In a sense it became more of a teenage boy show - more `action' and guns etc.

Vitally important aspects to the first few seasons of the show were removed damaging continuity based on the original intensions/ `feeling' that came from the direction and the acting. Other aspects were twisted and ran with in a new direction. None of the elements one could feel nostalgic for remain unblemished to the point where I felt like shouting at the TV!!

I'm somewhat tempted to defend one of my favourite shows but I feel doing so would be rather in denial.

That said there are aspects some fans could like...

There is still a lot of the humour but it often feels lazy/half-arsed rather than light-hearted.

There are really amusing elements of self-deprecating, post-modern awareness but only in one episode.

There are some genuinely great episodes which see the characters nearly fall apart from the stress of it all etc. etc. and some episodes that I would have wanted to have seen replace some of the poorer episodes from previous seasons, but these are few and to get to these you have to tread the water of bad choices that Sliders made.

In season four Sliders could have taken off in ways it couldn't quite manage in the early seasons into a sci-fi show with real integrity but it bowed to pressure and that's a shame because it went in exactly the opposite direction.

So:

If you think this kind of disappointment could ruin Sliders for you, don't bother, or bother and be prepared to dismiss the new direction Sliders took.

Personally, I'm glad I saw it but I'm not sure it's worth the money since I'll probably never watch it again and definitely want to keep the first three seasons separate.

Because of this I definitely recommend seasons one/two and aspects of three for any sci-fi fan or beyond but perhaps refrain from your need for closure on that crazy season three cliff-hanger and avoid season four!!
