Any reasoning, cause & effect, and SCIENCE in this series is so dumb, that it is beyond me. I hope N fired anyone who was responsible to write characters and script for this one. Waste of money, people time, and any resources involved in this thing.… Expand

The cringe is strong with this production: between poor acting, poor settings, poor character reactions, poor production, and way too much pandering to the PC crowd... and lets not forget the overwhelming reliance on teenage girl drama. IThe cringe is strong with this production: between poor acting, poor settings, poor character reactions, poor production, and way too much pandering to the PC crowd... and lets not forget the overwhelming reliance on teenage girl drama. I wonder who is the target audience for this kind of production but overall it misses the mark on every possible aspect. Instead of wasting your time watching this, go for another cooking competition on netflix: at least it looks edible.… Expand

The script sounds like it was written by a 6 year old, and the less said about the "science" and "diversity" the better.

Truly terrible.

Certain crowd picked cast based on "messaging" and didnt concentrate enough on plot, story, characters, etc... Was good for about 15mins as they setup the story and then fail miserreably right after. Performances by leadsTruly terrible.

Performances by leads is often cringe inducing and dry; with dramatic over acting complete with "ominous music". In case it didnt feel "soap opera" enuff.

Like Niko did in show; run to the other side of universe.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. [x] Immature 20 something crew not qualified to run a Starbucks (much less space mission)
[x] Constant emotional outbursts and forced drama every 2 minutes
[x] Forced diversity hires rather than selecting people based on acting ability
[x] Far too much cussing, **** this **** that, **** you, mother****ing **** "(every 30 seconds)
[x] Spend more time arguing and running a daycare rather than establishing plot
[x] Incomprehensible decision making that requires suspension of disbelief and ignorance of any science
[x] No command structure, no uniforms, pressed hair out of stasis, ear rings and makeup, skimpy outfits

This series is a waste of time, seriously it will piss you off beyond belief if you are an avid sci-fi fan, because they get nothing right, nothing makes any sense and you can tell nothing was written by anyone with any experience in sci-fi. You'll instantly hate the entire crew who would be more suitable on an MTV reality show or maybe Jersey Girls. Only the captain and hologram are tolerable but even then, they are busy babysitting the rest of the crew. Just like all the other reviewers here have stated, you'll spend more time skipping scenes (like all the flashbacks to life on earth scenes which are far too frequent) but jokes on you, there are no good scenes, when the ship is in danger you actually WANT the crew to die off, it's really that bad. Avoid this show like the plague!!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I specifically wanted to check this show out because I was told that there was good queer representation in it. That sounded interesting to me. I should have read some reviews first. I hope this one stops someone else from making my mistake. This show is a dumpster fire.

I'm going to presume that if you're here, you know the general premise of the show. (Alien artifact falls to earth. Mission sent to the probe's origin. Mission loses contact with earth before arriving.) The plot synopsis is: Everyone fights. All the time. For no reason. It's the laziest writing I have ever seen. All conflict is meaningless because conflict arises for no reason whatsoever. I'll make some bullet points below of things that made me angry.

- Teen melodrama.
- Mutiny within hours of mission start over minor disagreement.
- Mutineer accidentally killed post-mutiny in struggle while he tried to murder the captain. This is permanently treated by all characters (including the AI, who saw it happen) as premeditated murder by the captain. The captain does not contradict this.
- Crew members CONSTANTLY interact with foreign material/remove their helmets outside, despite both explicitly being told not to and dire consequences that keep happening.
- Teen melodrama.
- Spoiler: The title is never really explained or explored. I guess going on a mission is "Another Life?" It is hard to care, but this bugged me.
- No one can or wants to do their job. The crew of the most advanced ship ever made is lazy, and complain when they have to do literally anything.
- Orders are optional and there are zero consequences for directly disobeying them.
- Zero security surrounding a supposedly top secret project. To the point where the main researcher can just openly interact with and spill secrets to a celebrity blogger that he hangs out with publicly
- DID I MENTION TEEN MELODRAMA
- Every character without exception hates every other character. Literally no exceptions. All character interaction is based on needless conflict.
- All conflict is lazily manufactured. Nearly all conflict begins with one character insulting another, and the audience is left wondering *why*.
- The entire crew shows an absolute disinterest in their mission, in science, and their own well-being. All they care about is having sex with each other and fighting with each other. They have literally no other motivations or goals, despite periodic whining that they are all doomed.
- Characters are killed and replaced a lot. This can add tension in a series... but each time a character is killed, I am relieved. Because I hated them. But don't relax. They'll be replaced with a character you'll hate even more.

This show was written for no one. I cannot believe that Katee Sackhoff's time and the show's significant budget were wasted on this trash. Her acting is as good as it possibly could be, but the writing is something that actors can only do so much with. Nothing makes sense, and the show demands that you care about characters who are fundamentally unlikable. Avoid at all costs.… Expand
