saprater I remember watching this several years ago, though I think I caught the episodes as reruns on the USA Channel. Excellent premise and wonder cast chemistry. Even though I wasn't a scifi buff back then, I found myself pouring through the TV guide (hey, it was before the age of TiVo) to watch them all.The basic storyline of a superior race evolving and competing with modern day man has been redone a couple of times since. Threshold was one such show...also prematurely canceled before it could gain a foothold among the gamut of reality shows and crime scene spin-offs. I think the reason Prey featured foremost in my memory was because of the character of Tom. He brought such a alternate view of the evolving species and exuded a quiet and humble strength. Watching him struggle with his increased feelings for humanity (and in particular, Sloan) versus his instinct for his race's survival was mesmerizing. I hated the series finale and how it left audiences clueless about his fate.

littledevil71 As usual on can always rely on American shortsightedness to cancel a series that actually had something interesting to say. Maybe Americans are more unintelligent than other people. They certainly are if they couldn't see the greatness of this series.I suppose the thought that we could actually find ourselves not being on the top of the (food-)chain can be a bit overwhelming if you don't want to have to think. A series that indeed takes the side of peace and understanding instead of just blowing your enemies to pieces may be a bit much. Great actors, good scripts and a budget that actually will get the job done in an excellent way. Thank God the British broadcasts THEIR excellent work.

akovac I have no idea why I continued to watch this. The scientific basis of this show is pseudo-science of the worst kind, distorting the theories of evolution, the way the story and the characters develop is completely unrealistic and unbelievable, the character development unconvincing, the acting shallow, the dialogs silly and the fight scenes ridiculous ... I could go on and on, just about nothing seems to make sense here and the intelligence of the viewer is continuously insulted. But still I wanted to know how the story would develop, and in spite of all these shortcomings I watched up to episode eight. I guess this is because the whole thing starts like a mystery, there is just so little known about the new species, who and what they are and what they want and how it all fits together, so one just wants to fill these gaps. However, each consecutive discovery just seems to make things more silly and unbelievable. But I don't want to go over the top in my criticism, there's worse on TV, so one might give it a try. The show has a way entertaining and keeping one guessing in spite of all the shortcomings. But better not to expect anything of any value or validity in this. 5 out of 10

Smirnoff_Ice The 13 episodes of Prey have just been broadcasted in Greece! They were on at 1:00 am (!) but I used to stay up and watch them. It is simply the best series I've ever seen! The idea was different (I had grown a bit tired of watching aliens over and over again) and the acting was great! I wish they had filmed more episodes!
