Mercy Point is an American science fiction medical drama that aired for seven episodes on UPN in 1998 and 1999. It was adapted from a film screenplay by Trey Callaway (pictured); production on the film project had ended due to the poor commercial performance of the 1997 film Starship Troopers. Starring Joe Morton, Maria del Mar, Alexandra Wilson, Brian McNamara, Salli Richardson, Jordan Lund, and Joe Spano, the series focuses on the doctors and nurses in a 23rd-century hospital space station. It was filmed in Vancouver. Storylines initially focused on ethical and medical cases and later on the characters' personal relationships, to better fit UPN's primarily teen demographic. The show suffered from low ratings, and has never been released on DVD or Blu-ray. Some commentators praised the show's characterization and use of science-fiction elements, while others found it to be uninteresting and unoriginal.
