    The 2nd season of Dark Matter is sadly not as good as the first one. It's still ok and I'll still check out the upcoming 3rd season, but my expectations will have lowered substantially compared to what I was expecting after the first season.

    The biggest problem I had was at the end where one of the characters basically does a complete u-turn out of the blue. That by itself was a surprise. But then he asks his subordinate to use "non-lethal force only" on the main characters......while he himself has no problem at all to bomb the bejeebies out of them.

    Because there was no guarentee at all that they could/couldn't escape fast enough. If next season he actually gets mad at his subordinate for what happened on the ship....that would just make no sense at all. You were going to bomb them! Hello.    … Expand

    Season 1 took a while to really start its engine but from that moment on I've been enjoying this show quite a lot! I like the cast and the story of this sci-fi series is not so predictable. Plus the setting is getting more and more complex, which is great. Sure the writing may not always be perfect but other than that I'm very much looking forward to season 3.

    My season 1 review still applies. The show is getting better!
    'Professional' critics need to nerd up. This is a great show. Small ship, scruffy crew, brainiac kid - yeah cliche to a fault BUT everyone wakes from cryo with total amnesia. Instant mystery. Well written with brutal scenes matching Firefly. Deep intrigue in every episode.

    This is a wonderful sci fi series, and really the best , most intelligent sci fi series since STNG .
    The universe they have created is fun and exciting.
    The characters are all excellent, and really surprised by the great acting. It's hard to believe Melissa O'neil has not done TV or acting before this, because she is as slick and accomplished as a veteran, and I love her martial arts    This is a wonderful sci fi series, and really the best , most intelligent sci fi series since STNG .

    The plot is really exciting and the whole family hangs out for the next episode all week.This show was cancelled by syfy channel execs after season 3. Incredible fools who don't appreciate good sci fi ,acting and drama if they fell over it. Shame on you syfy    … Expand

    Not all the characters are interesting and some of the performances are shakier than others (and “Dark Matter’s” clunky production design is less pleasing than that of the sprightlier “Killjoys”). But for hardcore sci-fi fans, Dark Matter should have enough upsides to keep them tuning in: It has a sense of humor, reliable forward momentum, and it generally gets the job done reasonably well.
