Origin

Most reviews state that it has the undertones of The Thing, Aliens and other shows like Lost. 1st, its not like Lost unless you consider flashback stories a Lost feature. They were not invented by Lost... They had been done before over the years. I am not sure why everyone references Lost when it comes to that particular type of story telling. I can also say that this is not Lost in the way that Lost literally never went anywhere and got less interesting over time. You do get answers in this one and they are fairly satisfying though not particularly mind blowing.

The resemblance to The Thing and Alien are really only surface deep. The show does have a horror/thriller theme but they are light and the series does come into its own by the end. I would also state that this is a more interesting story than either It and Alien because its not just a straight thriller but thats just my personal bias since I prefer mysteries over mindless action. If you just want action and thrills then this probably not the show for you, albeit, they are sewn in every now and then.

I liked it and I am a bit disappointed that it was canceled. Hopefully a studio picks up and continues because the show did hook me in and I want to see what happens next. Give it a go.

A lot of people are saying this is bad. I watched the whole season in a day and my honest opinion? It deserves a chance. I was weary, thought i was wasting my time watching this, but as i got more involved around episode 5-6, it actually became worth watching. Yeah, it needs work, hopefully season 2 will blow our minds away. But take my advice, just bite down till at least episode 7. You'll realize it was all worth the time invested. I didn't really feel it was worth it at first, but man, was the ending really great. Well done!!

I enjoyed this so much, it was complex but simple enough so you won't get lost in the story. Good character development, good acting, good stories. This is so much better than a lot of the shows out their in this genre, too bad it didn't get a season 2.

The good: The production values are excellent. Cinematography is of good quality. The horror atmosphere of the series serves its purpose. There are captivating characters. The pacing rarely bores the viewer. some of the flashback sequences, are good as the best black mirror episodes.

The so-so. The plot is not very original. Some characters are too stupid. Not all flashback sequences are good.

Summing up. It's a good series of horror and science fiction, but it could be so much better. Even so. It's binge worthy

It reminds me of The Thing (1982) but in space. It's worth the binge watch if you are into horror and sci-fi. It also provide some good back ground stories on the character for development. Definitely hope for another season just to see where it goes.
