Reviews & Thoughts
This is really a drama, not sci-fi. It's all about conflicts between the characters rather than sci-fi themes. Typical Netflix formula for science fiction. Think I'll go back and watch the Expanse again.
I have watched in total four SCI-FI shows including this one and so far this TV show seems best from all of them. I watched "The Expanse" which was worst from all these 4 shows, totally overrated boring series. I watched "Nightflyers", which was also another boring series. Watched "Lost in Space", which was TV show more suited for kids and then decided to watch this one. It's definitely better than those others listed above. Character development is good. We have some interesting characters like for example the AI "William". Acting is good too and story doesn't disappoint us either. It's a bit slow at first, but gets better and better slowly and last episode of first season is very interesting & intriguing. I personally can't wait to see next season now. If you love movies like "Annihilation" & "The Arrival", I think you will enjoy this TV show.
