Origin

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

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.

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 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.

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
