'Bout time! Strong female lead with complimentary cast. Decent science fiction scenarios. With all the mediocre to crap sci fi fare floating around, Another Life is refreshing. Negative reviewers are Lost in Space:)

A fascinating universe, it's quite a shame we likely won't see more than 2 seasons! Give it a whirl.

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

A little slow to develop, could cut the soap opera drama, SJW nonsense and sex by about two thirds but other than that good Sci Fi fun... I would watch a couple more seasons for a conclusion.

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

Netflix should listen to all the home Users who enjoyed watching this, since their ratings are far better and true. Kate Sackoff, you rock girl, thankyou. :)
I also liked the addition of Gabriel (Allan Hawco) as the evil A.I. ... ;) I wish Netflix would make more of these types of Sci-Fi shows… 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!

That interspersed with the constant forays into surrealism and dream sequences gave this viewer the feeling of being jerked around. I saw far too much of the characters' romantic lives than I wanted to. People living with rationed water having sex in space in hot, clammy quarters. You can smell the funk coming off your TV set. The writers apparently couldn't resist ripping off Alien. The space creature sequences are just plain silly. I found myself skipping scenes. I'd be surprised if it was picked up for another season.… Expand

This is like saying that being in the hospital with bad bad covid is great because you get pudding. I think its really cool having young teensAI writing your show to see their perspective. 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
