After an extensive series of episode reviews on the Security Hazard blog, Jack and Ben are now sitting down to perform a thorough study of Gerry Anderson’s Space Precinct, the live action sci-fi cop show from 1995 full of aliens and adventure. We’ll be digging into our thoughts and feelings on the show as a whole, ranking every episode in a grand tier list, and discussing the second season that never was. This is going to be an extra-long, bumper edition of The Security Hazard Show celebrating 30 years of Demeter City’s finest!
