Outstanding bang for the buck
Sliders is filed with action, tongue in cheek humor and some occasional social commentary. The characters are very engaging. Even though it's a sci-fi series, it's very character focused. The visual effects hold up surprisingly well for a series produced on a modest budget over 20 years ago.
This a Mill Creek release. They specialize in repackaged, budget friendly releases of movies and TV shows, This is where I dock it one star. There are more episodes per disc than the original studio releases, meaning a reduced bit rate which yields a softer image. The picture quality is acceptable. I have watched the whole first season and there were no bonus features. There may be some yet. I'll see as I move through the whole series. The disc menus are bare bones.
I like the packaging. It's a slipcover with 8 cardboard sleeves holding two discs each. The sleeves are tight fitting, so the discs won't fall out when you pull out a sleeve. The whole series only takes up 1 inch of shelf space.
I never missed an episode of this when it originally aired, and I'm happy to say I'm enjoying it as much, if not more, than I did back then. It holds up well.
If you are willing to put up with slightly reduced image quality in a bare bones package, you will get many hours of great entertainment at an incredibly low price.
