Mars (2016–2018)
4/10
A lot of good science but also a a lot of bad.

I gave up on the first season because of a lot of science and the "we are humans therefore we must do very stupid things" attitude.

This continued in the second season.

First off there was the blatant disregard for human life when Lukrum arrives and debris from their landing capsule almost kills two people in suits on the surface as well as taking out an installation.

Their scientific excuse: They could not know where it would land. Wrong: they know exactly in what area it would land. Maybe not down to the last meters but they will know the area the debris will impact. We can do this for planes that breakup in the air on earth and make a predictable area of where to search for debris.

Second off. The CME. Solar storms do not travel with the speed of light. There are hours of warning before the storm arrives in case of a carrington event. On Earth. That warning time is about 24 hours and is essential to put satellites and more into safe mode so that they do not get damaged even in small solar storms.

Third. The fact that they cannot navigate the Martian landscape without GPS (supposedly knocked out by CME) is unbelievable. Astronauts on Mars would have made sure to have a backup plan. Navigating by the stars seem to be an easy one for a computer.

4th. The rover just have to little power and to little air for a vehicle of its size. I event think the astronaut only brought 1 tank of oxygen for her suit but i cannot remember that clearly now.

5th. If a persons body temprature is 29 degrees: They would be passed out in deep coma.Here from wikipedia that seems to be credible

31 °C (87.8 °F) - Comatose, very rarely conscious. No or slight reflexes. Very shallow breathing and slow heart rate. Possibility of serious heart rhythm problems. 28 °C (82.4 °F) - Severe heart rhythm disturbances are likely and breathing may stop at any time. Patient may appear to be dead.

Instead she is breathing heavily and talking and very conscious about Lukrum not f... up her samples. all that at 29 degrees body temperature.

I gave up again.

It is some pretty basic stuff they dont display correct.
