Mon cosmonaute

The first episode seemed a bit boring so I almost switched off. The music and the photography kept on it and O found myself drawn back in.

More drama than SF as others have noted. Two guys, one girl and two time periods. The two guys are fighter pilots and incredibly competitive but are best friends, some of the time and the girl dances between the two. There are some plot holes but it is far from the worst I have seen.

The Russian subplot was a bit strange but it added a bit of colour although some of the acting there gets a bit overdone but the rest is ok and Nadia was good. The pilots are written a bit like two teenagers at times and you wonder why their characters have F16s to play with at work. On the other had: Top Gun and The Right Stuff.

Overall it looked pretty good. Some are critical of Future Warsaw looking too similar, especially the clothes. I felt that the changes were pretty good. It.was a bit too lucky how things worked so well when left for thirty years.

The ending is open but not necessarily a bad ting.

There are few good things I can say about this series; good cinematography, good production design and good music. I live in Poland so I like the way they design how Warsaw will looks like in 30 years and creat a retro-futuristic city from those existing blocks from commie time.

The love-triangle plot is not new (imagine Pearl harbour set in 2023) and you could list like 157 movies/series that involve a dangerous Russian corporation working on a top-secret space project. Still with good writing, these storylines could be interesting and that's the problem because the screenplay totally sucks.

Imho, it all starts with the unconvincing character building. I can see a strong attempt to creat cool characters, unfortunately the result turns out to be the opposite and all the characters are unlikable, irrational and unstable. I don't understand why they do what they do and that makes them very difficult to root for.

Conversations are also unnatural, some scenes seem forced and characters behaviors so pretentious. There are so many questionable things in the series like all the characters still driving cars with diesel engines from 70-80's when it's supposed to be in 2050 something or the fact that the villainous Russian space corp head quarter looks more like a set for fashion photoshoot because it's full of young, model-beautiful and impeccably dressed scientists. I could go on and on about things that doesn't make sense in this series.

To sum it up, they've set up quite a nice background for the story, but then they ruined it all with bad writing.

This show is basically just a polish night time soap opera. The story is weak. The dialogue is weak. The acting is decent. Good cinematography all around. Basically it's just about people looking for sex at dance clubs. The spy thriller element makes no sense so it's just filler I guess. I give it 3 stars for the dance club music and a few other good songs and some good passionate love scenes between girls and astronauts, I guess. I mean that's probably the plot line. Girls who like astronauts and like dancing and then after go somewhere for sex. I believe that's the main idea behind this show.

I don't get why everyone is so bent off about this show? It's literally labeled "sci-fi romance", and that's pretty much exactly what it is.

It's gorgeously shot, like truly. The effects are brilliant. It's one of the most realistic takes on the future/future technology (some aspects at least). I was also really impressed with the actors. The actors have good chemistry and the plot is unique. I think it is definitely worth the watch. There are a few plot holes and I definitely wanted more from the last episode. I think the show would have been even better if it were 8 episodes instead of 6. The buildup of the first 4 episodes was great, but it felt like they ran out of time and rushed the last two. Overall I genuinely enjoyed the show.

I'm always confused when there are such drastic extremes in the ratings on IMDb. This show was really good! Definitely not perfect, but it has all the elements to enjoy it. Great actors, cinematography, story line, love story. I can see sci-fi fans being disappointed because it isn't sci-fi focused. It is definitely a love story.

The parts that trip me up are the scenes in the future. The SkyCom aspect felt so disjointed and like it didn't belong, almost campy. It would've been better to do without it or flesh it out better with 10 episodes. There was no real reason for it and no answer to why some events happened. The other aspect is the last episode. Like, what? That's not an ending, at least to the questions I wanted answered. It's like the writers were told to wrap it up one day. Again, could've done with 10 episodes.

Despite that, I love the actors, and really enjoyed the music. I really wish the future storyline had been thought out better.
