Every now and then, a sequel comes along that’s just as good, or even better than, the original.

Although the series ran for two seasons, the story was ultimately left unfinished, and Ren’s quest never reached a true conclusion. Despite this, The Pirates of Dark Water remains a celebrated show, even thirty-five years later.
