    I've found the acting to be strong. Several overlapping story lines. Good visuals. It has promise going forward.

    Part X-Files, part police procedural, part Silence of the Lambs, part Chinatown ... Hard Sun is Dark Mirror slick, but often times contrived. This isn't your average Apocalypse porn and worth a casual view. If you need your entertainment tidily arranged and wrapped in a bow like a bento box, this show isn't for you. Warts and all, this show has merit. If the BBC / Amazon decide notPart X-Files, part police procedural, part Silence of the Lambs, part Chinatown ...

If the BBC / Amazon decide not to renew, the show's Season 1 finale ends nicely and anyone familiar with astrophysics will realize that the ending isn't ambiguous. It rings clear as a bell.… Expand

    With obvious plot holes and incoherent stories at times, Hard Sun is somehow bizarrely engaging in terms of pacing.

    This was by far one of the worst, biggest, waste of time shows I have ever seen in my life. I gave up half way through episode 2. From the opening shot you can tell its a total stinker. Really TOP SECRET written in some budget typography over a shot of the sun!? Jim Sturgess' acting is just, well I can' t think of the exact word AWFUL.

    A drama shot through with pessimism and concerned a with quest for survival can be exhilarating and worthwhile. But Hard Sun contains so many contrivances and overwrought moments that the commitment of its cast and the potential of its premise are largely squandered.

    It is as stylish as it is unpleasant, and there are some well-staged action scenes, but overall, the series is loud and tiring, like spending an hour in an MRI machine.

    To say it’s too much to take in is to underplay the actual insanity of the show as a viewing experience, as batty, grim, and ferociously violent it is.
