    WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
    Asad Almond A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
    Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
    Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
    themovieman3000 I was quite young when they first showed Bugs and didn't really understand it apart from the fact that there was a load of bad guys that these people tried to get hold of. I enjoyed the action scenes and everything else. So ten years down the line i've bought the DVD's and watched them several times. OK, it was disappointing that Ed left for the fourth series but still such a great show. You know what, few TV show since have managed to emulate this high-tech achievement. The only thing that could would be a 5th series with Craig McLachlan and co. Another thing I must add is how good that title music was. Worked really well and sounded really good. 10/10.
    C L (Severus_Snape666) Bugs was way ahead of its time. When it hit the screens in 1995 on the BBC, nobody had seen anything quite like it. Quirky characters and multitudes of gizmos, gadgets, weaponry, bombs, explosions and not to mention baddies! The show pivoted around its three main characters, Ros, Ed and Beckett, the gadget making one, the daredevil and the team leader. Together they stormed their way through devious plots and baddies, all trying (unsuccessfully) to kill them. The highest point of Bugs for me has always been series two (the plots with the vengeful criminal mastermind Jean-Daniel, thrown in prison by the Bugs team at the end of series one), and, of course, most people's favourite, the end of series 3 'Renegades', when the will they-won't they storyline between Ros and Becket, which had been hinted at since series 2, was finally resolved. Unfortunately, when Craig McLachlan decided not to rejoin the cast for series four, the makers of Bugs sought a replacement and found one in Steven Houghton...well, I suppose there were some similarities...they both had blonde hair. Any others? Uh...no. Steven Houghton was so far off the mark with his portrayal of a once fantastic character that viewers who loved the show turned it off (and the BBC made the unforgivable decision of airing it at 6pm), and so, when series four came to a close with a whopper of a cliffhanger (intending to carry on with the show and not leave it hanging with such an ungraceful ending), suddenly, it was decided to leave the series as it was...and so, the story will never be finished. People might be interested to learn that Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter films) appears (albeit briefly) in a series four episode.
    Cyberax Well, Bugs started off with all the promise in the world. Season one was about finding its feet, which it did quite nicely by season two. The end of the second season was fantastic, and we all thought nothing could better it. Wrong. Season three gave the characters personal lives and a whole new situation. It became one of the most watchable shows in the usually dead end summer holidays. But we know what comes before a fall. And season four was definitely that. Changes in actors, naff schedules led many people to switch off what once had us reaching for the 'on' button on a Saturday night.
    mulan Who says only the US can come up with good action shows ?? "Bugs" is thrilling, captivating and intelligent - simply great fun... I especially enjoy the characters development - it´s not as shallow as might be seen in other shows of this kind. If you have never watched it - do so if you possibly can - it´s definitely worth it... ;-)
