    I liked the lore of this show, but it doesn't make sense anymore. Now it's impossible to see where the series is headed, and, in this case, it's a bad thing. Characters make dumb decisions, and the rules of the universe are being contradicted every time now. Also, the protagonists are vastly different from season 1, as if a whole season has been missing. Hope the rest of the season hasI liked the lore of this show, but it doesn't make sense anymore. Now it's impossible to see where the series is headed, and, in this case, it's a bad thing.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The show offers a nice escape into the Ridley Scott universe with an alien expanse. Travis Fimmel is a huge plus being such a radiant actor. The plot is intriguing and thought provoking but it comes with many holes. There's illogical scenes that are just shrugged off and quickly skipped over.

    Like why is everyone eating everything they see without testing it first? Why is everything edible and harmless?? Not even Earth's wild fauna is that forgiving. Where even are all the animals? There's no animals but then there's a random scene with Travis roasting a chicken? One moment, the planet's water is lava, the next moment the water on sea creatures is completely safe to touch, the next moment it's unsafe again, the next moment it's safe, the next moment it isn't. One scene Campion is revered as a professional tracker simply because he "grew up in the planet". But the writers forget that Campion grew up in a completely foreign desert biome with ZERO animals and ZERO humans. What is Campion tracking?? His shadow??

    Feels like the writers just half assed the realism and let anything fly for convenience sake. If the writing had more in-depth explanations, it would totally make the show. The bigger picture mysteries are awesome to ponder, but the finer details need some proper tuning. A food test kit would've helped, showing dangerous plants, showing some more animals, having heat protection gloves, or giving the android the tracking role. These all would've been easy remedies to frustrating plot holes. Please just make it make sense.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm finishing this show soley because I started it. The premise and story lines are thin. Why would the athiest collective let Religious people into the fold? Just not making alot of sense. Generally a cool idea for a show.… Expand

    A future-shock caper with real weight, it harks back satisfyingly to the sci-fi that existed before George Lucas fired up his lightsaber and ruined all the fun.

    With a confidence that seems to grow with each episode, Guzikowski’s series proves a formidable descendant of its great predecessors, imbued with their finest qualities as well as its own distinctive virtues.

    It’s exciting, with each twist and turn arriving as clues to better understand this crazy place, from its smallest elements to its greatest themes. And yet, the answers to the mysteries always take a backseat to the interpersonal dynamics among the survivors.
