What to Know

Critics Consensus

Away doesn't reach the stratosphere as a spacetime adventure, but emotional earnestness and a strong cast help make this a compelling enough journey to the stars.

In Away, space is a shortcut. It artificially heightens the stakes of every plotline because it’s space! Go to Full Review Ben Travers IndieWire 09/10/2020

"Away" is too long to recommend, but by prioritizing people, the series fitfully finds relevance in examining how distance can affect relationships. Go to Full Review Scott Bryan BBC.com 09/10/2020
It manages to make space boring and that's the thing I couldn't get past, space with its infiniteness and its possibility. Go to Full Review Daryl MacDonald InSession Film 04/26/2024

It’s a blend of mechanical, emotional, and medical struggle, both in space and on the ground, delivered an intriguing story. Go to Full Review M.N. Miller Ready Steady Cut 09/02/2022
3.5/5
Netflix’s latest streaming series has its issues, but overall, Away is an engaging series about exploration of life, love, and family, and how when science can’t come up with the answers, faith will fill in the gaps. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Leanri P @Lele4141 2d Away is presented as a semi-dystopian space easy watch film, but it surprises with a human touch. Instead of aliens and the likelihood of survival on Mars, it concentrates on the psychology of long-distance familial relationships and how it is accepted within different cultures. How to balance these relationships is explored within a sophomore cast that is more than convincing. Definitely recommend if you like space but not the high action of it. See more Tony C @Tontokid Jan 23 I am a 73 year old male and have been an avid fan of Sci-fi and although there are no lightsabers or robots, Away is a compelling story and has a magnificent cast and in my opinion, an award winning performance by all. Stopping the series because of cost factors and viewer numbers is reminiscent of another folly... the cancellation after one season of the original Star Trek. Time will tell..... See more Dave R Sep 11 Very sophomoric. Unrealistic technology, such as texting to the astronauts in space without time delay. Testing space ship technology using a plastic tub in the mission control room. Horribly unrealistic. Acting not so bad but it drags on. See more Betty B @Betty1977 Aug 27 Awfully dragged out tiresome story, with frequent cryfest. See more Ralph D Jul 15 Too bad there won't be any more seasons... I was invested in the series. See more Power B May 2 Bless netflix, they canceled this shame. While main message is clean and totally ok, use sci-fi as cheap decoration is very wrong. Each scene feels too artificial and unnatural, so have pity on yourself and just stay away from this See more Read all reviews
