Another Life

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.

Is this series meant to tell an interesting story? About what could happen with aliens arriving on the planet? That would have been an interesting show for me to watch. As realistic as possible. And inspiring maybe, like Star Trek could be sometimes.

But it is not. It is unrealistic teen drama pur sang. With people you would never hire for this job. Constantly creating tension, drama, competition. It's Love Island in space. Even the computer is a cry baby, being scared when something happens. Why would you add that to a computer!

Too bad, could have been fun.

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!

Very disappointing. I had high expections going in, I tried to be patient and tolerant, but it's just so poorly written with so many shallow chars and plot lines. Great to see Katee back on the screen but even she can't save this pile of garbage.

Good Sci-Fi is about good stories where science is the backdrop. They try to answer "what if?", but usually they respect basic well-established scientific principles. This show violates all those things. Unínteresting story, unlikable characters and disregard for science. (Hint: dark matter is not a black cloud, nor is it opaque: it's invisible.)
