If you love sci-fi and deep, tantalizing plots like me, you will love this show. It also has some horror elements and is very suspenseful, which can help draw people that don't like sci-fi as much into the scene (my girlfriend loved it and she normally doesn't want sci-fi). This show has it all, psychotic AI, aliens (not what you might think), alternate dimensions, and edge-of-your-seat space action. You should be able to decide if you like the show by the 2nd episode.… Expand

I really liked this show, its clever, spooky, well acted, interesting characters, its got netrunning, cyberpunk themes, some of the feel of event horizon, even the dead space games.

Space horror is a genre which doesn't get much attention. Much better than some of the Hollywood dross that we get.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This show is almost literally the worst. It's about a group of people, who from the get go hate each other, going on a long term voyage to meet some aliens. Or more like a amorphous blob of psychic energy. There's some pointless twists and turns along the way culminating in the fates of literally everyone going unresolved. They basically travel half way to another solar system just for one of the crew to, maybe, get to another dimension and live happily ever after with his wife that originally chose to forget him and his daughter that died. The ending leaves you going "What the Fu**", but not in a good way. Skip this, you'd be better off getting a colonoscopy.… Expand

Read the book.

This show takes a 130-page short story and tries to make it last 10 hours. The writing is poor, obvious, or illogical. The characters show little depth and are infuriatingly naive. Like the title and George RR Martin's name,Read the book.

This show takes a 130-page short story and tries to make it last 10 hours. The writing is poor, obvious, or illogical. The characters show little depth and are infuriatingly naive. Like the title and George RR Martin's name, Nightflyers borrows many tropes from other horror movies and genres (many of which have little relevance to the plot) to create a mangled Frankenstein. For a Sci-Fi Horror, I couldn't stop laughing at the bad science and cheap scares.… Expand

I’ve tried to watch this show 3 different times. I’ve made it to episode 5 each time. I just can’t do it, I want to like it, but it really sucks.

So I started this series and was intrigued by George r Martin writing. I also love sci-fi.

The first 3 episodes were fantastic, it completely got me hooked. They had a unique spin on things and I didn’t know what would happen next. I was so excited to continue.

Then things just started getting bad. The Plot lines they developed started to take twists which made no sense.
The characters they developed did completely illogical things, and completely broke character.

It was like watching GOT episode 8 for the last 7 hours going wtf.....? It made no sense.
I was just at a loss for words for how bad the writing became.

I have to sadly not recommend this series.

The actors did great with what they were provided with though.… Expand

I had high expectations for this, because N and GRRM. And to be fair I might never watch worse sci-fi series based on someones actual book/story.
