Intergalactic

The script and storyline are garbage on the whole, the dialogue poor and the acting, while not all bad, completely lacking in nuance.

It's not just that the characters are all one dimensional, but everyone spends every scene shouting and snarling at each other, everyone is angry at everyone else all the time and it's exhausting to sit through. If only there was a little subtlety to it, some introspection and some room for characters to just breath it would make the action scenes stand out and give the conflict more impact. Instead it's like sitting on the sofa while someone smacks you over the head with a metal tray while screaming in your face for 45 minutes.

You can easily sit through it and let it wash over you if you have absolutely nothing else to do, but if there's anything, literally anything else going on, do that instead.

Characters get better by ep.5 - even the men are getting less whiney; 'captain' is still far too shouty and unstable: not sure she got this far in life. Witch woman, tech-girl and flyboy are good characters now; screwball and dread-girl getting better.

Pretty weak script, but the story premise is interesting and I enjoyed it well enough. With a bit more focus on sxript, this show could bloom in season 2. Not a 10 out of 10, but not a 4 as is rated either.

Something very strange is going on here, everything up to the prison ship was first class but then collapsed into some of the worst acting I have ever witnessed. The actors performance was astonishingly poor and makes you wonder whether any of these people have ever even seen the inside of a dramatic arts Academy. My rating went from a high 8 to a low 2 between one scene and the next it was so bad. Then as if by magic, the direction/acting performance quality returned! It's all very strange and once you are through the first couple of episodes the show starts to get good. As a result, I'm hoping that the prison ship acting fiasco was just a blip and I'm actually starting to think that an assistant director (after a heavy nights drinking) told the actors to behave as weirdly crazy as possible.

Now, about the special effects, I've even seen a couple of reviews that have even suggested that the effects were "cheap and nasty". Well, I worked in the industry for 20 years and these are some excellent sets and effects. Actually, the only negative effects that I could pick up on was of the motion of the personal police ship at the start of episode one.

Was looking forward to this but was disappointed.just a lot of woke nonsense..
