    Much better. The fiction side gets moving on this one and there's actual plot development worth following, plus it works together better with the documentary side, showing some very relevant and solvable problems/conflicts/risks that would characterize the early phase of Mars colonization. In contrast, S1 was mostly a relevant-but-boring history lesson combined with a relevant-but-uselessMuch better.

In contrast, S1 was mostly a relevant-but-boring history lesson combined with a relevant-but-useless advert for E.M.'s unproven concept of an interplanetary rocket. (I've seen enough unwarranted E.M. a**-k***ing everywhere else already, I don't need it in my Sci-Fi too, thanks.)

    Sure, most of the actors carried over from S1 are still as bad as before, which makes most of the dramatic conversations hard to watch, sure the documentary sections are still too long and irritatingly shoved in between the fiction scenes (I skipped most of them; maybe I would've watched more if they had separated them to their own half of the episode), but other than that there's a very visible jump in quality, now I can really say I want to see more.    … Expand

    We're only one episode in, but I can tell I'm not going to like this season as much as the extraordinary first season. And it's not really the show's fault. It's apparently inevitable that commerce and the private sector will always play a part in the pioneering story. It's a bummer. Great cast and great visuals however. I like the comparison to the arctic oil drillers. Go Shlumberger!

    This series is so good, so prescient, so intricate in it's mapping out where we've been, where we're at, and where we're going as a species, as countrymen, and as tenants both here and the stars, it's difficult to put into words. This is one of the finest pieces of television that's every been created.

    Best series ever. So realistic and accurate. Everyone should watch it! Season 2 is even more amazing. Made me cry. Highly recommend!
