I have looked everywhere but can't find a TV show I am having flashbacks of! Here is what I remember

  • Based in space on an alien planet
  • there is conflict with any alien race
  • the main character is a pilot? Marine?
  • the big thing I remember is the main character's sister is missing, she landed on the planet before him. Finding her is the long-running story arc
  • late nineties, aired on a major network
  • the whole series felt like it was filmed at night

  • live-action or animated? what language? what country did you watch it in? was it aimed at any age group?

    Sounds vaguely like "Space: Above and Beyond", at least if one substitutes "fiancé" for "sister". Apr 1, 2016 at 4:40
  • @Eike nailed it! Thank you!
