Another Life

It is a Sci-Fi alright but what is going on with the characters?! They're so illogical and unreal - how can you setup a space mission with everyone being interested on personal feelings first? I mean... lmao what is this nonsense? Not to mention murderers?!!

And I get the diversity and political correctness but please, if you get black/hispanics/asians/whateva actors >>> find ones that can act ffs!

I tortured my self by watching two episodes of this absolute garbage show. As if they'd put the most incompetent people on the bloody planet in to the space ship that is meant to save Earth.

Whiny, absolutely moronic characters who think it's worth the 11% chance to kill everyone on board, to save a few months worth of travel. As if anyone with an IQ above 40 would reason "Hey, it's just 11% chance to doom the ship and possibly the planet".

The so called "science" in the show is just out the window as well.

Good Sci-Fi is about good stories where science is the backdrop. They try to answer "what if?", but usually they respect basic well-established scientific principles. This show violates all those things. Unínteresting story, unlikable characters and disregard for science. (Hint: dark matter is not a black cloud, nor is it opaque: it's invisible.)

You know the saying "If you have to do something wrong, do it right"? Well, this series feels like the opposite of that saying. I love space and sci-fi. But this one is horribly executed. Toe cringing.. Within the first 7 minutes, all they think the viewer needs to know has happened, and they're off into space. Come on, give us a story..! Those first 7 minutes should have been a whole episode in itself! It felt rushed.

The CGI effects are neither great nor good. They're decent. And decent is not good enough for something like this!

And man, the crew on the ship.. Are you kidding? Young people in their late teens, or mid-twenties at most. Put those in a high school drama instead (the way they talk and behave, actually fits a high school drama very well). You don't care for the characters. Besides, it wouldn't be believable to put young people on a critical mission like this. They would have sent more grown up people, who had more experience. It all just feels very wrong and not believable.

Come on, Netflix. Commit to quality, not quantity! Disappointed.

The dialogue and acting was very suspect in the first few episodes of the show. It's hard to tell if it was the writers or the actors themselves; however, as the story developed, everything seemed to get much smoother. Sometimes you have to look beyond the cheesy sci-fi facade and enjoys the story for what it is. I implore those of you who are reading this to watch until episode 10. I, for one, think that this story has a lot of potential, and I hope the long list of gut reaction 1-2 star reviews don't destroy that chance. If you're going to write a review, you should at least be required to watch the entire series.
