You know the saying "If you have to do something wrong, do it right"? Well, this series feels like the opposite of that saying. I love space and sci-fi. But this one is horribly executed. Toe cringing.. Within the first 7 minutes, all they think the viewer needs to know has happened, and they're off into space. Come on, give us a story..! Those first 7 minutes should have been a whole episode in itself! It felt rushed.
The CGI effects are neither great nor good. They're decent. And decent is not good enough for something like this!
And man, the crew on the ship.. Are you kidding? Young people in their late teens, or mid-twenties at most. Put those in a high school drama instead (the way they talk and behave, actually fits a high school drama very well). You don't care for the characters. Besides, it wouldn't be believable to put young people on a critical mission like this. They would have sent more grown up people, who had more experience. It all just feels very wrong and not believable.
Come on, Netflix. Commit to quality, not quantity! Disappointed.
