Still, the mystery that unfolds is quite engaging and even with the slower pace, the show is really enjoyable and entertaining. Most of all because both Sissy Spacek and J. K. Simmons are solid leads.
The two have great chemistry and it's nice to see two actors their age leading a show in the present day.

Certainly there comes a point where the narrative becomes muddled by the inclusion of new characters that rather than providing a broader spectrum to the plot leaves too many questions in the air and its final episode has too many cliffhangers to feel really satisfying, this mostly because there is no certainty that this show is going to have a second season and considering the last scene, that would be very disappointing.

Give it a chance.… Expand

Show is amazing, it's not your typical tale of out of this world type experiences. It touches base on the many facets of humanity. There is love, drama, suspense, action and mystery.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Great cast and a perfect set up for a second season. I truly enjoyed all of the performances, and am eager to see where many of the plot lines will lead. Where do Denise and Jude go? What is on the new planet? The fans want answers!… Expand

Serie originale dal finale intrigante che merita ulteriore seguito e approfondimento. Stupisce la poca pubblicizzazione da parte di Amazon Prime.

Slow burn….be patient and enjoy the ride. Spacek and Simmons are out of this world. This is a Sci Fi mystery yes, but it is so much more. While you are bonding with the characters you are learning lessons about life, and love. There is aSlow burn….be patient and enjoy the ride. Spacek and Simmons are out of this world.

Took a chance on this as JK Simmons was in it and I'm glad I did. It's very solid however if you aren't a fan of mystery box type story telling then you probably won't like it. Looking forward to season 2 (if it happens)

Very cool show, definitely for fans of Lost's plot and maybe the pacing of Twin Peaks (but not the weirdness). It's pretty rare to get a show with two "old" leads, especially with this amount of depth and humanity.

It's pretty rare to get a show with two "old" leads, especially with this amount of depth and humanity. Maybe the writers are a little too heavy handed at hammering home their age but it's certainly effective at building an extreme amount of empathy for them. Instead of the "crouching tiger, hidden badass" that almost every other show/movie would go with we get incredibly realistic characters that have relatable joys, challenges, and flaws.

The sci-fi aspect is more than just a pretense to explore different relationships and the balance works quite well. Unlike LOST where viewers needed enough fast action and wild mystery to last a week until the next episode, this show has a more deliberate pace and worked better for me watching an episode a day. Don't expect a Raised by Wolves or The Expanse level immersion in an imaginary world and with hyper-extreme characters that you don't really connect with though. It's much closer to Outer Range where the stories about connection and family and the mystery of the unknown feed off and support each other.

In some regards, there's a level of wholesomeness to the show that leaves me happier and more optimistic and people in general than when i started watching. I felt primed at multiple junctures to worry about what a character experiencing tough emotions might do next and was rewarded with pleasant surprises and a realism of choice and action that you don't often see these days.

Can't wait for Season 2 !… Expand
