Moonhaven

To put it in perspective, The Expanse (10/10) had to shop to extend their seasons after SyFy cancelled them, and had to beg for a rushed/very short final season to give fans a bit of closure. Moonhaven is ponderous to watch, and these days get all the life and financing, regardless of fan response.

I think you people are missing the point.

No, it's not bad acting, or bad CGI or what ever you happened to whine about.

Yes, Moonies are strange and come across like annoying hippies who say and do strange things and behave like lunatics. That's the whole point! I think they play it rather well.

I agree, the angry pilot chick from Earth is extremely unlikable and behaves like sociopath. But that's the whole point - Earth is gone off the deep end! Everyone is probably like that or worst.

Why do expect them to have those same values like you have today? Behave like you do? Try traveling. Different cultures, different values, different social ques etc. And you do not even need to get off world.

Very few sci-fi books and films actually pay attention to this - people, situations etc have to come across a bit unusual or even awkward for us.

Put it like this, If you could time-travel 100 year back in time and behave the way you do today, everyone will think there is something seriously wrong with you. It works both ways.

The negative reviews are very strange for this show. I found it kept my interest and I am keen to follow where it leads. Silly arguments about what is and what is not science fiction are irritating and lead nowhere. I will continue to watch as it is intriguing.

Why? They talked funny, they cursed in Chinese and I had trouble understanding what was going on. Of course it was happening hundreds of years from now. Now it is a classic and an inspired science fiction show. It was original and unique. So is "Moonhaven". The "moonies" do act and talk different though the "earthers" talk more "normal". But wouldn't people in a hundred years talk different than us, have different ways of saying things. Give this a chance; it is unique and different. I also didn't like "The Expanse" at first because they "talked different".

...It Is A Detective Mystery After All, (essentially), and an interesting one at that, despite the pacing. Visually it's very well done. The acting is average, has a few high points, but not great. Oddly enough, although unintentional, it works very well in many ways (or could) as a "Deep-Past/Deep-History" prequel to Raised By Wolves. All of the kernel elements are there. Despite it not being a prequel to that very odd, interesting (& dark) but foolishly canceled series, thinking of it on some level as just that has made Moonhaven slightly more enjoyable for me than it otherwise would have been. For that reason I've given it a couple of xtra stars. Either way, it's not as terrible as some reviews make it out to be. Just quirky, and as mentioned, meanders a bit like many detective stories tend to do as they flesh out & find their footing.
