The best of a horrible run
molvich29 July 2019
"Oh hey, these aliens seem to be tens of thousands of years more advanced than us" "Can you hack them?" "Sure thing mate, give me five seconds. And, done!"

Well 9 episodes that I loathed, to varying degrees, for a finale I found mildly satisfying.

Nobody becomes more likable, sane, or basically sentient. Certainly any reasonable viewer walks away hoping for the complete extermination of the human race and the destruction of Earth and all that inhabit it.

Still, at least some stuff happened that didn't completely depend on what vermin the crew are.

Almost against my better judgement I do want to see what happens next, while simultaneously hoping every writer, director, and anyone with any input in the first nine episodes gets sent back to whatever cinemographic hellpit they spawned from.

It has flaws, but overall it was entertaining.

Another reviewer said it was like millenials in space and they're not wrong. The actions of the crew were, for the most part, pretty juvenile. Some of the cgi was pretty bad, especially when showing the artifact landing on earth.

Overall though, it was an interesting story and I would like to see where it goes.

The remaining characters are decent ones, although I feel like the love triangle is a little played out.

Ep10 may have saved the series, but....

...why didn't they save the Zekir woman and take her along? As much as I wanted to enjoy and recommend this series, and I did enjoy parts of it, there is a lot of derivative stuff here. Michelle in an earlier episode saving the ship ala Spock in Wrath of Khan but then dissolving into a puddle of bloody goo - her demise was original but nasty. At least the show rid itself of annoying characters as it progressed. Just wish they were smart enough to detect Sasha's alien brain bug sooner and off him earlier. The cast chemistry is starting to gel somewhat, but S2 will need significantly better writing to save this. Katee Sackhoff is watchable as always, but please, please, PLEASE give her more to work with if this renews for S2. I'm rating this a 6/10 or a D+/C- ...appropriate in my view as it seems as if it were written as a college fiction assignment....creative in some ways, derivative in others per above, but highly pretentious.

Hmm...
exffqwzd28 January 2021
I actually liked episodes 9 and 10 the least. The rave music, the high drama, and series of poor decisions made by all main characters and without command approval.

I really do like the main storyline and I'm anxious to see where it goes, but I would like to see more responsible and reasonable and rational decisions being made. Way too many decisions being reactive and driven by high emotions.

The story is intriguing enough on its on, it doesn't need all the week to week high soap opera. I'm still enjoying the performances, the acting is great.

If they can chisel out what didn't work this season, the next season has the potential to be great.

Finding it's feet
girliefingers1 August 2019
A good end to an average series. It's a shame really because there is potential to this show but the writing just needs to be tighter. The last two episodes were good to watch and I'm now actually hoping there is another season. Maybe they should change the writers as the basic idea is sound.

Engaging finish, leaving me wanting more.
mgl-920372 October 2019
Let's be honest. This is not a great series. It's not a good series. However, it did improve towards the end. That, and a compelling story line, make me want to see season 2.

What a mess
nlszmn29 July 2019
The physics didn't make sense. The characters didn't make sense. Mental health is one of the most important things in long term spaceflight and these people collapse in on them selves after half a day. And who would bring high heels and a leather pants to space what is happening.

I treated this as a comedy after the 30 minute mark and had some fun after that.

This episode saved the series, partially
Tor-Steinar29 July 2019
They managed to get some tension and a decent plot development, finally. If they get rid of the teenage love drama stuff and replace with som harcore sci-fi this show could be good.

Last minute careless script
gregory-186-8477721 February 2020
A shuttle crew walks into the cave of a primitive being to find an advanced version of Alexa. 10 episodes with only the first 2 and the last 2 worth watching.I skipped the 6 in the middle. They were plot filler. The only thing I can say about the abysmal science in this fiction is at least rockets in space make no noise. Give it a pass.

Loved it!
jjfromnz28 July 2019
Not sure why this series is getting so much hate! I absolutely loved it. It wasn't new with fresh ideas. The actors were well casted and loved seeing Katee back in space! Pleas give this a shot and support it! This show deserves a season 2!

I Made It To The End
taraangel-4096026 July 2019
I read the reviews, but I did manage to watch the whole thing. Isn't Netflix supposed to be helping viewer's? We do pay for it every month. And they waste that money on absolute drivel! I've seen some good Netflix movies, not many though. This was absolute ludicrous garbage.

Great
charlesalmd11 August 2019
I can't understand why this show is receiving so hate, the plot is good, the story is refreshing, the authors did a great job. We finally have a story that treat the alien contact With us in a believable way. If you like sci-fi, give this show a shot.

I made it to the end.
paul-38-9579146 August 2019
Warning: Spoilers
After 9 painful episodes .. made it to the end. This is far the best of the lot .. Some story, some acting, some suspense. All tho some still very bad bits.

Just a couple of examples

Let's go into a restricted area .. just wear a surgical mask & a cap .. no problem ..

Kill a nasty alien by using the space ship engines..

Sticking with it
mattbogart-2104414 November 2021
Was recommended this by people who watched both seasons. So amazed by the Experts whining like babies about this series, it's an ok tv show , you have a right to have an opinion but please grow up they haven't committed a crime by making the show , people act like idiots nowadays if it's not to their liking. If I don't like something I just stop watching it , since I'm leaving a review it's not as bad as some are making it to be !

Please stop the music
captain_astronaut27 March 2020
Not that I'll watch the second season, but please stop the terrible songs you play in nearly every episode. They're all bad and sound like you're trying to push your friends' bands on us. It's all very WB.

Not as bad as most of the reviews!
dexterslab-8948011 December 2020
Warning: Spoilers
I have to be honest, the first episode was a little slow. There is a lot of filler, and it feels like they're trying to build complex relationships between the characters very quickly in the whole series.

Saying that, I thought the plot was largely good with a few curve balls thrown in. Liked the spin on when they think they've got there and they're actually 400 lightyears away still.

I don't think it deserves all the hate it is getting and hoping they push on for series 2 now the finally has unveiled some more of what they're all up against.
