Dark Matter

This show didn't necessarily break any new ground in the Sci-Fi genre, but was certainly more enjoyable than much of the vile dreck currently on television (a single shot of Melissa O'Neil strutting down the ship's corridor with a gun on each hip is more entertaining than all 22 seasons of "The Bachelor").

The combat scenes, whether with guns, swords or hands and feet, are well-staged and cohesive. The real heart of the show was the relationships between the characters, all of whom wake up at the beginning with no memory of who they are why they're on this starship. Considering that seemingly everyone in the universe is trying to kill them for one reason or another, they decide it's best to stick together.

It's a shame that the SciFy network abruptly yanked the show after a cliffhanger in the third season. They at least owe the cast and crew, and its fans, a two-hour movie to wrap things up.

I tried to watch this once but felt the characters were wooden. The plot seemed a bit slow. I came back to it after I couldn't find any new sci-fi to watch. After episode 5 I fell in love with the show. The plot thickens, the characters become developed, and it becomes more "sci-fi".

I'm not going to write a rave review of this show, many others have done it before me, it was a really good series, the stories were well crafted, it was high standard in the world of sci-fi were you see a lot of cr***. I just want to direct you to the writer and creator Joseph Mallozi's blog to read why it was cancelled and wasn't saved, which demonstrates once again the haughtiness of "money making moguls" in networks deciding that we, the viewers, are just bottom lines and they're just milking the milky way however fast they can. Disrespecting loyal fans is no longer a tenable posture in the industry, especially when dozens of awful shows get produced that don't have the level of quality this one had, especially in the sci-fi genre and on SYFY. Besides The Expanse, there wasn't much being done towards giving sci-fi afficionaos the real deal. Personnaly, I believe in the downfall of the $ all-mighty culture of the entertainment industry that disregards viewers' choices especially when they're loyal to the series. We too can unite and fund movies-series outside the realm of the establishment if need be. It's about time WE decide not the networks.

Im not even a Scifi fan i watched the first episode out of pure curiosity it was on tv and nothing else was showing ..

Then i found my self being so positively surprised and curious that i started watching the show and became a steady watcher a the lead actors did a great job also enough humor action suspense in it ....i don't get why they stopped the show also the android was so funny and great everything they tried to do in the show had a potential of being GREAT ...

THEN they just cancelled it i mean WTF why the show was great even a NON scifi fan like me liked the show

It's sci fi for for sci if fans. This show fills a gap that was left by galactica and stargate universe and the like. I liked it so much I decided to get on and leave a review in hopes that it wouldn't get canceled by the anti sci fi overly critical critics. It is a major challenge to take on a show set in space with the ships, technology, characters, plot, and in this case they are on the right track. Just look at the ship set, it's awesome. After seeing the typical bad reviews I am convinced there is a plot to keep sci fi from staying on the air. The bad reviews sound like the people who originally hated firefly and look what happened there. It's nice having a new show without vampires, zombies, and high school drama that you can turn to when you want something in outer space with FTL. This show is great, has a smile on my face, and has me waiting for the next show.
