[1][2] Many US stations scheduled the show in late night time periods, which resulted in low ratings and contributed to its cancellation.

The series features American actor Ted Shackelford as former NYPD detective Patrick Brogan, now a lieutenant with the Demeter City police force on the planet Altor in the star system Epsilon Eridani.

Brogan and his partner Jack Haldane (played by Rob Youngblood) must adjust to living in another star system, and investigating crimes being committed by aliens as well as humans.

Also featuring was Danish actress Simone Bendix as Officer Jane Castle, Haldane's love interest (Brogan was happily married with a wife, daughter and son who relocated to Demeter City with him).

All other major characters were played by actors wearing complex make-up that also included elements of puppetry in order to depict the different alien races.

Appearing as various guest aliens: Rob Thirtle, Leigh Tinkler, Andy Dawson, Joanna Berns, Wayne Forester, Alexa Rosewood, Ken Whitfield, and Will Barton.

The pilot, which is more comedic in nature than the somewhat serious series that followed, combined live action, full-size prosthetics, puppetry, and Supermacromation techniques.

No further progress was made on a sale until 1991, when Mentorn Films adopted the project and secured funding from American company Grove Television Enterprises.
