Another Life

So I watched a few more then went straight to the final episode. No regrets. But still, this show is a car crash you can't look away from. Behaviour of the crew sent to save Earth is completely devoid of believability due to the terrible writing not taking into account any form of rationality. The writers may have been teenagers, because that is the only way the characters in this show interact. Zero depth. But maybe that's intentional? Maybe they want the show to be like this so you watch it to feel better about yourself.. reality tv at its worst has more believable emotions.

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.

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.

I could hardly get through the first episode, this show is just so non-rational. The basic plot is that there are alien artifacts which landed on Earth and they send a spaceship to check out the source of the alien artifacts. So, how does Earth go about this monumental task? Do they fill their one spaceship with professionals? NO. They fill their spaceship with individuals who are all emotionally compromised and all exhibit signs of severe mental illness. Seriously, the characters all act like preteens trying to solve the case of the missing football or something. It's painful to watch characters who we assume are Earth's brightest and best behaving like nutjobs. Even the CGI isn't that good. The alien artifacts look like something I could whip up in Blender in under a day. Just no. Netflix, I appreciate that you're trying to make more Sci-fi, but please, try again with better writers.
