Origin

A series that you should watch at least 3 times to appreciate and get a real grasp of it.

Good acting, interesting Sci-Fi premise, nice filming and VFX, but lacking some logic, real tension and danger. The flashbacks were great though, especially those involving the Japanese.

It flows well most of the time, while in-between, it splashes erratically like water onto a curved wall.

Near 10 hours of dedication, build-up and polishing, to be cancelled. A real shame.

Take alot from other shows, but lucky for us they only take the good parts.

Did u like Event Horizon? Sunshine? Then your are in for a treat here.

The star of this show is Natalia Tena. You will recognize her from Game of Thrones, playing Osha. Yeah, thats the girl who sticks around with Bran alot and protects him.

And also Sen Mitsuji, who is a completely NEW talent. IMDB is clean besides Origin show. I was really impressed by his effort and he really fits perfect into this role. I will keep my eye on him for future movies/series. Very cool performance.

Overall this is a great series, sure it has some plot holes and some weak parts... but all series has that. When i watched the last episode, i felt like I really wanted to continue following these ppl and thats a really good testimonial for it being good. Watched all 10 episodes during 3 evenings, and i honestly had a hard time parting from the show to go sleep :P

I really hope for season 2, on the planet...following the same characters. That would be awesome!

Didn't expect them to keep it interesting till the very end. The acting and performance is better than I expected. There is a good story line and potential for many more season. I'm eager to see what more can come out of this show

One of the first shows I really enjoyed that wasn't animated. I remember watching it a year back and I blazed it right through it , finishing it in a couple of days. It was dark, chilling, and exhilarating. There was no time to breathe, each scene was nerve racking and you were just waiting for something to pop up right in your face. Severely underated and isn't talked about enough. Since most people have some really short reviews I decided to spice things a bit.

A clean slate. To have your pasts erased for a better tommorow. What if I told you instead of waking up in a better tommorow you wake up in hell. Where you wanted to erase your pasts but now are vulnerable to exposing your inner demons to other people.

Very good story with eerie atmosphere and tone but with some minor flaws. It has very good writing and acting. With great subversion tropes and flashback sequences. The characters are probably one of the interesting aspects of this series. They really aren't people you are suppose to be inspired or awed by. I mean if you are told that you could go to a planet 5 light years away and you are like a millionaire or something, most likely scenario is that you aren't going to go. So imagine the types of people that would go if they were given this offer. The characters are a band of misfits that all have some form of tragedy in their past lives but their development was really nice. But what we are suppose to do is to understand them and emphatize for them. The visuals and music were above 90+. The cinematography, choregraphy, and the set designs were all beautiful. The music consisted mainly of space music and a little bit of pop and rock and the sound choices were quiet eerie.

Now let's break down alot of people's arguments. People saying it's cliched is being stupid. I mean in today's day and age when hundreds of shows and movies are being released it's very unlikely for them to be compleletly original and unique and not a little bit "cliched". Other things include stupid decisions and swearing in every sentence and dropping f bombs. Doesn't matter what kind of person you are when a person is scared they do a lot of stupid things and don't think through cuz they are guided by emotions only. And I don't wanna get too deep in psychology and things like that but swearing calms people down and helps make them feel stronger and is more expressive. And the average person swears 80 times per day. Lastly the only character that drops the f bombs often or alot is Logan/Tom Felton.

Overall a very enjoyable series and a 100% a recommened watch! Sad they never released season 2.

Memorable: So so . Rewatchable: Yes

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.
