Saw this one in the theater years ago and it has stayed with me. One of the best movies that I have ever seen in my life. I would call it more of an odyssey than a movie. This film is not a happy, go-lucky story and it will not feel you with the warm-fuzzies, but man, is it interesting and thought-provoking. A story full of complex, imperfect characters and the turmoil that they face, some self-inflicted and some life circumstances. And it asks hard questions. How much of life is pure coincidence? Would the outcome have been different if I had only gotten there a little sooner? How will I answer for the choices that I've made?

Have watched 5 episodes so far. Loved the book & wanted to love this show. Finding it to be quite boring.

The book is an interesting character study about a guy who chooses to live in total isolation of deep space. However, even in space, he finds that no man is an island.

I do not know why this show differs so much from the original material or what it is trying to accomplish. Maybe if it focused more on its 2 main stars, it would a much better show. Instead, it jumps around to different times, storylines, & pretty unlikable characters. This show has the talent of the amazing Lena Headey but doesn't know what to do with it.
