For reference, I am an over 45 yr old female, wife & mother and liked it. It's definitely above average for sure. Beginning parts, I was iffy, but just keep watching it gets better as it goes along. I'm glad I gave it a chance.

If I'm getting kinda sad & don't want it to end, then that's a good sign.

> Contrary to some reviews, I liked seasons 3-5 better than seasons 1 & 2.

If you watch this show and take it for what it is, you should like it. Don't compare it to Star Trek.

> I like to know what other shows reviewers like when I read a review. If they like a show, and like lot of the same shows that I like, that tells me a lot. So, here are some of my faves: Stargate SG1, Stargate Atlantis, Star Trek: TNG, ENT, VOY, DS9, SNW, The Expanse, Continuum, Fringe, The 100, Dr. Who, 12 Monkeys (tv show), Agents of Shield, Travelers, BSG.

> So, if you like some of the same shows that I do, you should like Andromeda. S 1& 2 are good, but in season 3 it relaxed a little, and cast was familiar and steady.

There are some parts where you want to roll your eyes, and think about quitting but don't, they are few and the good far outweigh the bad.

Good story, lots of action. If you like good sci-fi shows/stories, then you'll like this one. The characters are engaging and the good ones draw you in and make you care what happens to them. It starts out at medium speed, it's not slow at the start, it's just laying out the story for you. Mid season 1, starts to really pick up and season 2 is amazing, non stop drama and action. The Empire is run by 3 clones, all of their loved leader Cleon. Brother Dusk is the oldest, Brother Day (who is the ruler at the time), and Brother Dawn, the young adult ruler who will become Brother Day when he is of age. They keep moving up the ladder as they age. Hari is a brilliant mathematician, whose talent is psycho-history and that future events can be predicted mathematically. Hari gets people together, slowly to attempt to end the rule of the clones & their empire with his predictions. Couple of storylines that come together all for the same cause.

It was definitely worth watching if you like science fiction. It's not the best sci-fi but it's mid-to high level. It's different than most sci-if movies/tv shows. I did not read the book so I had no idea what to expect. It has a little lull in the middle, when they are doing the AI headset game, so don't let that kick you off, just hold out and after that part, the puzzle pieces start coming together. It's almost, and maybe it is b/c I didn't read the book, alternative world/reality type with the science stuff in the beginning; it had me a little confused at first. The ending didn't leave you hanging too bad, but enough for a season 2.
