I thought at first some of the cast were too annoying but as you watch more they all grow on you. I found it entertains because it feels more like space sci-fi from the past. The special effects are acceptable in space and the outside of the ship. Sometimes the low budget shows inside of the ship. The acting is good enough for a sci-fi show. The story keeps you interested through the 12 episodes and you care how the crew end up. I believe there will be a season two and I am looking forward to it. The only thing that did fail for me was Ark 15 having old chairs and lamps in the corridors. That didn't help the sometimes lack of budget look.

I don't understand why all the hate. Yes it is obvious it's not a high budget. The characters as you go along the 22 episodes become more and more likeable. It's entertaining and simple story lines are what Dr Who has missed for some years. Flash himself is done well as the clean cut hero. The three main female characters are all attractive in different ways. Zarkoff is a bit of the cliche coward at the start but as the rest he grows on you. Ming reminds me of the typical 1970s sc-fi baddie. He is a ruthless military dictator ruling by fear and military. With it not getting a second season unlike many other shows cut short it feels finished enough not to feel left in limbo. If you like old fashioned sc-if on a small budget watch it and stick with it I really enjoyed the journey.
