    Just watch the season 1 and 2. Not Season 3.

    Season 3 made me say in front of the screen "Why are you doing this, it doesn't make sens?!" out loud. Or "You are a bartender in season 1, you can't be CEO of a multi-billionaire company in season 3?!". Or "It's been 1 week on mars and you are already arguing and fighting like teenager, you are supposed to be world class astronauts?!" I

    I usually don't write review but I used to love this show and the logic and character from the first season has been insulted and buried by the bad show writers.

    Yes, the show is woke. But the bigger issue is that it is just plain slow and unexciting, with characters that are hard to get invested in. And fans of science fiction won't see much (or any) science fiction. For example, in S3, of all the things that could possibly happen to a crew on Mars, a landslide is probably one of the least interesting. It's as if at every turn, the writers askYes, the show is woke. But the bigger issue is that it is just plain slow and unexciting, with characters that are hard to get invested in.

    I can't honestly say that I'm enjoying this series as much as the first and second. None of the "next generation characters are remotely interesting and completely lack charisma. When did you ever hear of Neil Armstrong or Buzz Aldriin's kids joining NASA anyway? Also I think they're in danger of simply repeating kkwhat we've already seen take place on the moon now take place on Mars.

Why is Gordo s son (I never bothered to learn his name)! suddenly cracking up like his Dad? How does that make any sense? Also they've strayed back into season 1 territory of being over the top woke! What's Ellen's role been yet again this series? To be gay? A gay president this time? Nobody cares, its just not an interesting storyline., and on top of that now the other guy turns out to be gay. Don't bother giving him a personality or any reason to like or care about his character, just make him gay and they can spend two episodes addressing that! Boring.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Seasons 1 and 2 are both excellent, believable revisionist's visions of what "could" have happened if the race to space of the Soviet Union and the US had gone differently. After a first few episodes of season 3, I'm devastated that this show has taken a turn for the ridiculous. To go from a slowly progressing presence on the moon with reasonably increasing rate of technology to a giant floating space hotel that we're going to fly to Mars in less than 20 years from the first moon landing is not even remotely feasible. And the soap opera direction of the Danny slash Karen story line is a real drag on what little drama there is left. Season 3 is a massive misfire so far. Expand

    Wokeness ruined this show. White man evil in Hollywood. I won't watch any more episodes. Such a good series ruined by the woke.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Oh man.. what a total letdown this season was.. I thought the first two seasons were great.. Season 3 is so terribly written it made me want to gag. Highlights include dude stomping on a toy puppy on Mars for dramatic effect. Ugly little brother somehow stumbling into a conspiracy group. Just don't watch it.. this show ended with season 2 for me and it was a great show while it lasted. Expand

    Some strange user reviews regarding wokeness ruining the show misses the point that the show is somewhat ridiculous and is essentially a somewhat dull space soal opera. There is the occasional exciting moment but there's too much Dallas and too little space exploration

    The show also goes small, depicting how national expectations roil the lives of those on the inside. While this dimension of the series isn't as strong as its alt-history, this is still a project by Ronald D. Moore, who set the space opera standard with the revival of Battlestar Galactica.

    The show has learned from the mistakes of its first season, which had a very slow start. The initial episode of the current season feels as heart-pumping as a blockbuster action movie.

    More than once, I was frustrated by season three — frustrated enough to resort to all-caps yelling to anyone who could listen. Even still, there are few shows I’ve enjoyed more this year and few finales I’ve looked forward to more than this one, and despite those frustrations, I still vastly prefer the show’s impulse to dig into the painful places rather than to skitter around on superficials.
