The cast is heavily skewed towards the fairer sex, with only two recurring male characters. Even a trio of Robin Hood thieves is soon reduced to their sole female member, the insufferable Rose. And is there a reason (other than the sight of their liquid powersuits being applied to their naked bodies) that the entire special security force of RUC is female? Male designs are cursory, a parade of interchangeable toughs, except for Roy who is a convincingly fit middle-aged mercenary powerhouse. Female characters fare better. While less than entirely unique, they sport a greater variety of hair, eye color, and body types, and, with the exception of SOLTY whose hair bears a disconcerting resemblance to an astro-turf jester's cap, are passably attractive.

An uninspiring mix of modern sounds, the series' score is wielded with a ham-handed force that leaves one craving silence rather than a copy of the soundtrack. The opening and closer are disposable bits of pop fluff. Indeed the only remarkable things about the soundtrack are the unusual number of vocal insert songs, and its willingness to back up the action with crunching electric guitar.
