Intergalactic

I've just watched the complete series, and enjoyed it a mild kind of way. It's low budget, the script isn't great, and the acting is ok in parts - I'm glad to say some of the cast members obviously have some fun with it, and that comes through on screen.

Watch a fews eps and see what you think - it would be good if the title got a second series, and a bit more investment in script and story development.

As one of the probably very few people who can remember watching William Hartnell as Dr Who, I can testify to the show's rough edges and iffy bits - so don't be too enthusiastic about slating a programme like this. It could turn around with a second series green light.

Pretty weak script, but the story premise is interesting and I enjoyed it well enough. With a bit more focus on sxript, this show could bloom in season 2. Not a 10 out of 10, but not a 4 as is rated either.

I really liked the look of the cast, like Eleanor Tomlinson and loved Craig Parkinson in Line of Duty. The adverts were everywhere this week so decided to give it a try but the story is very lacklustre. It does get a bit better, but the acting is also inconsistent and it just doesn't make a very good show as a whole. Ignore all the biased 1/10 and 10/10 reviews from people with agendas. This show isn't that bad or good, it is simply mediocre which is a big shame.

Was looking forward to this but was disappointed.just a lot of woke nonsense..

I was able to watch this streaming via Xfinity's Peacock site. My wife and I watched the first episode, she left when one of the characters began to lick up blood on the floor. I watched the entire episode and wasn't very impressed. But I wanted to give it a fair trial so I also watched the entire second episode.

"Intergalactic" by its meaning involves travel to another galaxy. But to me that is just a trick to make the show seem more interesting than it is. The setting is 120+ years in the future, 2145 or so. Much of the world we know now was in ruins by then but nothing seems to be done to tear down the ruins. To travel to another galaxy either takes thousands of years, or you have to learn how to warp space and time. But the space ships in this future still have lots of wires and switches, not a very likely development. No explanation is given, we just have to trust they figured out a way to do it.

So what we see is very limited imagination of what the future will be like. But they sure have preserved the widespread use of handguns, the same kind we use today. And almost every scene has someone pointing a gun and threatening to kill one or more people. Plus all the characters are ugly and unlikable. A very dark dystopian future and viewers who like that might like this series.

But not for me, I will watch no more. The space travel is just a gimmick, the story is really about bad people and isn't substantially different from all the other TV series featuring bad people.
