Just a heads up to anyone watching this show for the first time: the original airing order was incorrect and mixed episodes up so that certain plot points don't make sense. It's not as bad as what happened with American Gothic in the US, but it's much better to watch Earth 2 in production order rather than by airdate order.
Some DVD releases still use the wrong order (pretty sure the US release does this). Some (Region 2, I think) DVD releases fix the order somewhat. Netflix, I believe, airs the episodes in the right order but I haven't checked since I don't use Netflix.
In any case, the correct viewing order is: 1) First Contact (aired as ep 1) 2) The Man Who Fell to Earth (Two) (aired as ep 2) 3) Life Lessons (aired as ep 3) 4) Promises, Promises (aired as ep 4) 5) A Memory Play (aired as ep 5) 6) Natural Born Grendlers (aired as ep 20) 7) Water (aired as ep 6) 8) The Church of Morgan (aired as ep 7) 9) The Enemy Within (aired as ep 8) 10) Redemption (aired as ep 9) 11) Moon Cross (aired as ep 10) 12) Better Living Through Morganite, Pt. 1 (aired as ep 11) 13) Better Living Through Morganite, Pt. 2 (aired as ep 12) 14) Grendlers in the Myst (aired as ep 13) 15) The Greatest Love Story Never Told (aired as ep 14) 16) Brave New Pacifica (aired as ep 15) 17) The Boy Who Would Be Terrian King (aired as ep 17) 18) After the Thaw (aired as ep 16) 19) Survival of the Fittest (aired as ep 18) 20) Flower Child (aired as ep 21) 21) All About Eve (aired as ep 20)
Enjoy!
I really loved this series when it first aired and wish it had done better. It's not perfect, but the characters are fun. The setup kind of plays out like a family-friendly version of The 100 in lots of ways! Great casting, too.
Cheers, Banjo

I was a big fan back in the day. Too bad none of the streaming services have picked it up. Maybe I'll leave a request at Hulu.
