Reception The first season received mixed to negative reviews, with perhaps the most positive take coming from Starburst ("delightfully motley cast of characters, and the scripts by Wolfe and his writing team are brimming with witty interplay). Lukewarm positive reviews came from Variety ("it could offer a few campy laughs on a weekend afternoon") and Digital Spy ("this show hasn't exactly aged that well... but if you remotely like sci-fi, we also bet you'll find yourself sucked into this nostalgia-fest in no time"). It received middling or negative from the Los Angeles Times ("Don’t expect much excitement... 'Andromeda' isn’t intended to be taken too seriously, but that doesn’t excuse its penchant for dopey dialogue"), Entertainment Weekly ("After surviving a hilariously bad slow motion fight sequence.. Sorbo meets up with a band of misfit scavengers who may not be as bad as they seem, but make up for it by being twice as annoying"), Common Sense Media ("this series lacks the spark that made Star Trek so much fun. The politics sometimes seem overly confusing, and some of the characters are thinly developed"), SciFiNow ("It's a cliche but decent enough... but the problem is that Andromeda falls into Star Trek: Voyager territory by playing it safe and not doing enough to develop its characters") and Pittsburgh Post-Gazette ("it's kiddie-minded science-fiction with average special effects... and a set that was clearly built on a lower budget than the 'Star Trek' shows."). Awards Andromeda was nominated for 39 awards at organizational events spanning the years 2001 to 2006. The nominations comprised six Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films, USA awards, five Chicago International Film Festival awards, eight Gemini Awards, fifteen Leo Awards, and five WorldFest-Houston International Film
