Many reviewers absolutely hate it. I am not one of them. Here is why:
This is not a sci fi series. This a drama, on the base of a sci fi premise. How families and crew are dealing with a prospect of 3 year space travel and the unknown.
Here is what I think it got done well: -Overall atmosphere and drama. -Crisis and how different people deal with it. -Some scenes are very very good. -Some writing is very good. -Visuals are overall very good, with few exceptions noted below. -Music is great. I think casting is well done. -Chemistry is very good also. -I liked the Russian character. Very good done.
The bad (or what could have made it this great). -This needs another pass at editing -Some scenes are too gratuitous, where they just indulge themselves in special fx for special effects sake. -About 70% of flashback are either useless or too long while not offering anything substantial.
Overall, I enjoyed it, but with another edit/cut, I think it has potential to be very good. 6.5/10
