Just as the AI in the show makes impossibly rediculous decisions. What would it be like to send a group of kids into space? Well finally we have the answers.… Expand

It's soooo bad, in every potential aspect. I would watch season 2 only in hope they kill all the characters. Imagine walking in a mental ward and picking people "to save the world". None of them can be called mentally sane.

There were a bunch of movies in the '50s where a guy creates a spaceship to go to the Moon, but does he invite the best scientists, pilots and engineers to help crew the ship? No, he invites the neighborhood equivalent of the Three Stooges---There were a bunch of movies in the '50s where a guy creates a spaceship to go to the Moon, but does he invite the best scientists, pilots and engineers to help crew the ship? No, he invites the neighborhood equivalent of the Three Stooges--- and off they go on their bumbling fumbling way.
So here--- it's the most important space mission ever, but do they crew it with disciplined, focused, sharp space veterans? Of course not-- rather it appears to be a crew of peevish, unfocused, whiny losers --- I think they're supposed to represent Gen Z or Millennials and their "bad attitudes" or some such rubbish. OMG--- pretty much not a single one of these people should ever be doing anything except selling hamburgers at McDonald's. Did anyone ever hear the phrase "psych eval"?
Another feature of certain really bad Hollywood productions these days is that the writers seem to think that writing characters with "interesting" personalities comes down to obnoxious or annoying. Pretty much every character on this show falls into one, if not both, of those "personalities". Even the folks back on Earth, the captain's husband and child and the female general, just make my skin crawl. The kid especially--- I can just see her stage mother behind the scenes grooming and pushing her to be some sort of child star. EEECH!
I think if I were trapped in an elevator with most of these people for more than 10 minutes I be strangling them.
P.S. The musical choices in this piece of drek are beyond incomprehensible. The music seems to be chosen by a not-very-bright 11 year old teenybopper who seems to think this is a very bad Spanish soap opera (which it sort of is)-- but of course not-very-bright 11 year old teenyboppers should not be let anywhere near sci-fi. P.P.S. SPOILER ALERT: So as this juggernaut of nonsense progresses, we start having multiple AIs who are all as peevish, petulant and annoying as the human crew. Great--- when you've got a winning formula, double down.
P.P.P.S. I've come to realize I don't think I like a single character in this entire series, including the AIs. Tough to build a series when you don't have even one character who you actually would want to spend an elevator ride with (to repeat myself). (Well, the black security guy who comes up in Season 2 maybe, also just maybe the computer hacker who comes up in Season 2-- as long as he gets a better haircut and showers frequently.)… Expand

One of the most entertaining shows I've ever seen.

The season 1 of another life was not so good, but the season 2 became much better. Is very intense, packed with action and keeps you wanting to watch more. Its a fantastic sci-fi adventure!

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Captain Karen and the Diversity Squad is some of the worst television available. I watched the entire series and laughed the whole way through. It is forced, trite, and apparently written by angsty, emo teenagers. The (over)acting is some of the worst I’ve seen from adults. There is a lot of “science” jargon thrown around to confuse the uninformed, but none of the characters know the first thing about physics, programming, biology, or medicine. To make matters worse they pull the ending straight out of Independence Day because why not; you too can upload a fatal virus into an alien invasion force!

If you want your twitter politics with a thin coating of space CGI, this is your show. If not it’s an easy pass.… Expand

Many reviewers have criticized the characters of this show, a criticism I agree with. Many have compared the crew of the Salvare to the cast of Big Brother, which is a comparison I believe is very apt. The characters on this show are immature, inexperienced, overly emotional, unstable, and completely foolish. No organization would send this group on "the most important mission in history" by choice.

You could fix many of the issues with the characters on this show by simply changing how the show is set up. Make it so Katee Sackhoff is leading a group of underperforming cadets on a training mission when the artifact arrives, knocking out the other ships and leaving the Salvare as Earth's sole hope of making contact. This crew wasn't who you'd want on this mission, but it's the hand you were dealt. With this one change I could understand why a group of immature idiots is manning this mission and not grizzled veterans who have seen and done it all.… Expand

Análise da 1º Temporada - A série demonstra possuir alguns defeitos de narrativa somadas a algumas quedas no enredo, mas nada que não esteja presente na maioria das séries e filmes do gênero, que tem como característica um baixo orçamento.

AAnálise da 1º Temporada - A série demonstra possuir alguns defeitos de narrativa somadas a algumas quedas no enredo, mas nada que não esteja presente na maioria das séries e filmes do gênero, que tem como característica um baixo orçamento.

A trama gira entorno da tripulação abordo da nave interestelar Salvare, com a missão de fazer contato com uma espécie alienígena que enviou uma forma de artefato para a terra. Sem conseguir contato com o artefato e claro sem entender as intenções de seus criadores, a raça humana (já muito mais avançada tecnologicamente e culturalmente), os humanos decidem enviar para o espaço uma missão “basicamente” diplomática e científica.

Para isso se concretizar, a trama deduz que já temosmotores espaciais com 3 vezes a velocidade da luz, comunicadores espaciais de vários anos-luz da terra, mapeamento do espaço profundo muito avançado, desenvolvimento do dito SOMA (sistema de “sono profundo” ou “hibernação induzida”) para viagens muito longas e claro uma inteligência artificial com interação holográfica chamada William (que rouba muito o protagonismo da série) interpretada por Samuel Anderson.

A série traz diversas personagens femininas muito fortes e em papéis de completo destaque, como a nossa protagonista principal (a astronauta e comandante da missão Nico, interpretada por Katee Sackhoff).

Outras mulheres que vão ganhando destaque durante toda a série são a chefe da missão, General Dubois (interpretada por Barbara Williams), a Chefe de comunicações e esquentadíssima Michelle Vargas (interpretada por Jessica Camacho), a chefe de engenharia August (interpretada por Blu Hunt), a imediata e piloto principal Cas (interpretada por Elizabeth Ludlow) e a popular influenciadora na mídia na terra Haper Glass (interpretada por Selma Blair). Além destas mulheres, temos ainda a chefe médica da expedição e trans Zayn Petrossian (interpretada por JayR Tinaco). Sobra espaço ainda de referência a um segundo chefe de comunicações e gay assumido (e que já é casado legalmente na terra).

A série durante seus dez episódios, endossa em muitos momentos os discursos do empoderamento feminino (como por exemplo a decisão de abortar ou não uma criança), liberdade de escolha de parceiros (com ciclos amorosos entre três personagens consentidamente e formação de um par romântico homo afetivo), relação homem x máquina e a possibilidade de desenvolvimento de sentimentos pela inteligência IA. Ressaltei esses pontos, pois acredito que boa parte das notas negativas que estão surgindo (analisando-se os comentários destas) são principalmente por estes acontecimentos ou fatos.

Outra Vida trabalha muito com uma colcha de retalhos de outras obras Sci-Fi, porém tenta criar algo novo e potencialmente bom. Para isso brinca com alguns fatos científicos conseguindo trabalhar bem com o seu orçamento e roteiro, contudo em alguns destes momentos a narrativa não se desenrola tão bem como imaginada pelos criadores. Então como o marido de nossa protagonista Erik Wallace (interpretado por Justin Chatwin) sempre ressalta “mantenha a mente aberta” para assistir Outra Vida, mergulhe nos discursos acerca da vida, levantados principalmente por William.

Repense a que ponto nossa sociedade vai, pois durante toda série se fala sobre o aumento da população, a desigualdade social, marginalização de grupos de humanos, questões acerca da água e da exploração espacial, guerras humanas e outras espécies alienígenas que podem nos matar vindas dos locais mais improváveis, e claro, como podemos não estar sozinhos no espaço.

Outra Vida pode não ser nem de perto um Interestelar, ou uma série tão ampla como Star Trek ou Battlestar Galactica. Mas com certeza vem para marcar um ponto positivo que renova alguns estereótipos acerca dos seriados de ficção científica, dando mais espaço para que mulheres e comunidades antes marginalizadas se identifiquem com os personagens.

Espero que estas notas negativações não façam a Netflix cancelar a segunda temporada, pois temos um ótimo enredo para uma sequência interessantíssima desta obra.… Expand

This whole mess of a people, without any real chain of command, looks more like a group of unruly teenagers on a trip no one wanted to go to in the first place, supervised by adults escaped from psychiatric hospital.

*Captain/Commander Niko is a moralistic zealot, struggling to control her emotions, and suffering from post-traumatic disorder, affecting her judgement.
*Second in command is a sinister, over-ambitious man who hates Niko and openly questions her every decision from the very beginning.
*Third in command is a former criminal,... with a flexible loyalty.
*Then there is a 'government official', randomly backstabbing and threatening people, and 15 min later being completely cool and ok.

Almost everyone else has some degree of mental disorders, or behavioral traits that would simply prohibit them from ever being sent to space or serve in a crew: *First half of the crew are emotional freaks, that would have serious trouble getting a job at all, let alone responsible one, and in space.
*The other half behaves like they're here by an accident, and either don't understand what is their job there, panicking at every turn, or just outright don't care at all.
*And all this is guided by a flawed, melancholic AI with emotions.

Or crew members that out on a remarkable amount of make up every day for not apparent reason..without uniforms and without any real skill that would make them fit for being on such an important mission.. all in all. if you are here for "representation" and teen drama, this is your series.. if you are remotely interested in a coherent plot and a progression, move along .. this is not the series you are looking for..

Its bad bad bad in almost every aspect.
- The actors are almost all completely incompetent to an extend that I think that they didnt choose them by talent, but because they were friends with someone doing the show. To be honest, it looks like they picked some untalented Youtubers.

- The script, the dialogue and the characters are completely childish and stupid. The story makes weird jumps all the time, things dont make sense, understanding even the simplest physics seem to be completely out of the writers capability. And not only physics, but also human interaction, social behavior, humor, coherency of stories, logic in dialogues and other simple things. For example they think anyone would put together a crew like that, where everyone hates each other, acts like they didnt even pass elementary school, are far too young to be going on this mission, not mentally or physically fit for such a mission or somehow got a doctor in medicine without even knowing basic things about it, and while looking like they are 17 years old.

- The virtue signalling and SJW political correctness propaganda is completely over the top in this.
The doctor is a transgender and of course theres a lover too. 50% of the crew are of course colored. Most are women and most of them are of course leaders, very strong or smart, while the males almost all are stupid, dorky, weak or incompetent, incl. the male AI! The only semi-competent male is killed early and of course depicted as a toxic "alpha male" who is wrong on everything anyway and ready to kill others that question his authority.

Very good depiction of the SJW culture in terms of conflicts, though. They are always fighting with each other, question every order, want unique treatment and generally act like they are spoiled children who dont know even basics in social interaction. Even the AI is so full of uncontrolled emotions that he almost kills everyone. Just like in real life.
The irony is, that they dont have a real black person in the series in a leading or supporting role. Nor Asian. They are all brown. And the only Asians in the show are both killed (one of them literally only was alive 1 minute). Nor do they have gay people in the show, if your dont count the transgender and the one attracted to [insert preferred pronoun here - which the show doesnt do btw, they avoid it like the plague].

I still somehow watched the whole season. Why? Because the story is somewhat interesting.
Same reason I still watch Walking Dead, although I am about to quit.
Will I watch the next season? Maybe. If I remember to. And I doubt I will.… 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

The acting is a mixed bag of, "How did she deliver that line with feeling and a straight face?" to "That is absolute felgercarb" and the writing matches it. I really feel as if some more plot line control would really benefit it in a second season. By the end of the first season far too many plots had been opened without being addressed, almost on the level of a Robert Jordan book. The human interaction as acted and written often feels forced, almost as if they had a bunch of devout myth followers write a pornoflick. Not a single one of the characters is notable or worthy as a fully developed human. The sets, CGI and all the other details almost seem to be from a different production as they are far better than the writing and acting. I remember an era with good writing and bad effects and this is almost the opposite, poor writing and amazing effects!

The tech is unbalanced, as an example lightspeed comms with better than fiber bandwidth are more fantasy than sci-fi. I suspect that is because the show is as much a soap opera as science-fiction.… Expand

Everyone seems to act randomly without thought or intent. The ship AI is irrational. It doesn't understand why a person that defends their life might result in one of the two people dying ???? "I don't understand how you could take a life so easily?" REALLY ????
The "astronauts" take risks for no particular reason seemingly on a whim. And random acts affect these people to an extravagant degree. Like if they crossed a street it would be perfectly normal for these people to suddenly break down crying in the middle of crossing a highway, get hit by a meteor, get sucked into a wormhole, and get abducted by aliens (all in the first two steps). The alien ship that lands on earth is investigated by a single scientist, doesn't even matter where he is from or who he is, this is just ridiculous in the extreme. I kind of feel bad for the actors in this. This will haunt their careers.… Expand

The amount of potholes and just dumb writing is amazing. The first episode alone tells you everything you need to know. Them being afraid of hitting a planet shows they don't understand how big space is (they being the writers). Not using the backup crew after the current one beat you up in a mutiny? Really?

How about the episode where everyone is infected so they decide to space themselves, yet that one guy found a solution and rushes to them to tell them? Why is he rushing? Why do they act like they where just about to space themselves? HE IS INFECTED TOO! Why would they have spaced themselves without him? So he would have to do it himself? Why the rest do it together?

UPDATE: currently finishing up episode 8 and I'm genuinly impressed, very awesome show, great acting. I dont agree with the criticism of the writing, it's alright in my book. I promised that I would update my review once I have gone longerUPDATE: currently finishing up episode 8 and I'm genuinly impressed, very awesome show, great acting. I dont agree with the criticism of the writing, it's alright in my book. I promised that I would update my review once I have gone longer into the season and so here I am upping the score to a solid 9; the season have only been getting better. Thumbs up!

---------
I dont understand all the negativity for this show. I watched the first episode (1 hour) and I have to say it's pretty intense and entertaining. I get that the premise doesnt make sense: that the US government would put these young seemingly inexperienced people that is not very good at cooperating together on a spaceship to another star system to meet the aliens/save humanity, it's a completely ridiculous premise. However, if you can get over that fact then it actually works. It makes for some interesting and entertaining drama and having Katee Sackhoff in the center of it is excellent, she does a great job. Im not sure it would have been so entertaining had the team members been die hard proffesionals. I mean what challenge would they face that we would want to see? Without the drama I wager it would be boring af. Tbh one of the things I really like about this shows is that it is damn intense and that makes it very watchable and entertaining. That being said, they could have gone out of the way to write up the premise much more believable.

There was some other inconsistencies that didn't make sense. I wont mention what it is because spoilers, but it's something that does detract a bit. I would have giving this 9, but the inconsistencies makes it go down to 8.

The shows production value is also very high. This is not the most important, but it does boost the already high entertainment value.

As mentioned Im only just begun with the show, so well, lets see how it goes, I only watched the beginning. I'll update my review/score in case things change.… Expand

It starts with the mystery of the ship (reminiscent of Arrival) and continues with the designation of Niko as the lead on a space mission to visit the planet the alien ship hails from. As the show continues we learn more about why Niko is tormented by the mission she previously commanded. We learn more about the AI hologram that is the interface with the ship. I love Niko's character and, especially, her interaction with Cass and William. It captures a certain dirtiness and grittiness of ships and space travel, dealing with some of the challenges of keeping a crew alive and healthy. The relationships between a crew trapped on a sometimes smelly ship, with severed communication to Earth, is sometimes a little bonkers but always entertaining. Looking forward to Season 2!… Expand

Now and then, something interesting happens, but then, something else happens and the show goes "Squirel!!!" and runs off in some other, random direction.

So again, the constant jumping around keeps the show from getting to be dull (the series seems to be incapable of sticking to a single idea for more than 15 minutes or so) but the constant skipping around (in time, and in terms of plot) also prevents the audience from really getting into the experience. As a ride, it kind of works, but as a genuinely affecting series, with legitimately affecting characters, it largely fails, simply by virtue of not ever spending enough time on any single idea to really sell it.

That having been said, I was never bored - but apart from having a mild sense of curiosity about what random bit of otherwise unconnected lunacy is lurking around the next corner, I was also never really engaged. It is an interesting diversion, and you can have some fun by spotting the constant references (homages, or theft, if you prefer) to other (better) science-fiction properties, but overall, the series is generally forgettable.

A fun curiosity, but very little more.… Expand

Average.
Main charactres fail to inspire simpathy and look more like characters from beverly hills 90210 than a starship crew.
Visual fx are good but most of the time we only see internals and corridors. Weird narravie of the story: In theAverage.

Weird narravie of the story: In the first 2 or 3 episodes there is a main plot that progress during the show...but laters the show seems more "single episodes" oriented where protagonists are facing a event unrelated to the main plot like Finding food, ship malfuncion, planet exploration.
Most of the plot of this "singular episodes" are inspired from classic sci -fy show from Star treck to Doctor Hwo...so if you have ever watched one of those shows (even casually) this Another Life will appear derivated and predictable.
We will see Season 2 because there is margin of improvement.… 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

Worst TV show ever made? I mean how can a crew of astronauts be so incompetent? Would be funny if was capable of even being a parady. Trust what the people say about this. It really is total garbage.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Oh holy zoom! It's like the crew and writer's didn't know how to make anything look or sound dramatic other than background music that drowns out everything and bad shakey camera zooms. You don't need to look up the actor's nose to understand that the situation they are in is dire. We get it, the ship is crashing and tensions are high. All of the characters are one dimensional and have no depth. You can't make relationships with any of them. The visuals are interesting but that's probably the only good thing about this series. I'm sure everyone who worked on this show is very talented but something missed the mark. They have the nerd, the useless pretty boy, the fat guy, the sexy hot head, the by the book captain, and the egotistical villain who dies in the first episode. Oh, and the AI with emotions who is trying to understand what humans do. The best part of this show are the scenes back on earth. It seems that's the only time where the writers took care to make actual connections between characters. If they get a season 2 I hope they do it differently.… Expand

Unbelievably horrible writing. They really had an opportunity to make a great sci-fi story but let it all fall short with gaping plot holes and unbelievable characters.

I quickly found this series to be aliberal, gender fluid mess, clearly pushing a liberal agenda. Far from being cool, this show features a bunch of obnoxious characters, all of whom were poorly cast. Some dingbat 20-something girl as the lead scientist? Please. Katee Sackhoff's character is married to a beta male hipsterish scientist and their daughter on the show is an annoying, disobedient cry-baby. Such a disspointement.… Expand

Interesting plot, great actors, what could possibly go wrong? Everything. Everything went very wrong. Something lands on Earth, nobody knows what the hell it is or what it wants or where it came from. So the government sends its “best” most elite people up in space to go... somewhere... to find out what this thing wants and if it wants to destroy the world. And this crew plans to save the world somehow. But where are they going? How do they know where to go? You’d think it would be explained, but it’s not. So we have this elite crew up in space who are just such poorly written characters it really grinds my gears. The captain (Katee Sackhoff), is constantly saving the crew from certain random deaths, while the rest of the crew repay her by constantly undermining her decisions and having sex all over the ship. The crew are comprised of over-saturated millennial characters: shallow, dramatic, entitled, and not at all believable people. The ONLY well written character is Captain Niko, but the problem is nobody else makes sense around her. The drama between crew members is trite and plain annoying. This series tries way too hard to hit all the marks: transgender, gay, lesbian, threesome, that perhaps if they spent more time on character development and less on character types, we’d have something half-digestible. They traverse between story lines a bit. Some make no sense and have no purpose. The plot line is completely ignored at times and we are thrown into some bogus side-story. I just couldn’t get over these garbage characters, mainly on the ship. I won’t even get into the people on the ground because there’s just not enough time. Sackhoff is the only saving grace in this entire dumpster fire of a show.… Expand
