Laurence S @Lazza Mar 4 Quite unusual, but a proper attempt at sci-fi. See more Joey S 01/21/2025 I had to say the series was entertaining but it left me hanging. There so many questions left unanswered, and the longest awaiting contact with the Volcryn didn't make any justice to it. But it was good. See more chili k 02/13/2023 The sci-fi setting resembles "Event Horizon", mixed with some elements from "1899". That does not look bad in the first place. The dark synthwave soundtrack by Will Bates is not exactly exceptional, but well-crafted, it can actually stand for itself. The music and the visual appearance like camera, post and the largely consistent design do the best they can do to glue the series together. But drops of glue cannot prevent this thing from falling apart. The first 2 or so episodes promise a coherent and dense sinister story line, and although here the script already reveals a couple of obvious blunders, the show starts relatively strong. But then the narrative quickly deteriorates, and evolves into a sequence of mostly unconnected random events like a soap opera, like some kind of Star Trek with dark tint. With each episode the plot feels more negligent, improvised, hollow and B-picturesque. At no point i felt connected to any of the involved characters, but i don't think this is the actors fault. The actors show an acceptable to convincing performance in the beginning, but later seem to struggle with the meandering and degrading script. Anyway, starting with episode 4 (flesh-filled alien probe!) or 5 (Roy's mother living in the ships computer!) this show was losing me. In episode 6 (cannibal nuns attack!) i switched it off. See more T T 02/05/2023 This was not good. I really wanted to like this series, but I couldn't. There were just too many big plot holes. But, to be fair, it's based off a book, so I guess the writers are limited by what was in the book. The acting is subpar. The plot is messy and confusing. There is a big buildup that goes nowhere and ends up falling flat. That said, there are a couple of creative and interesting twists and turns, but that's about it. After all the buildup, the ending is unimaginative, disappointing, and silly. A waste of time, in my opinion.

By ep 3 I was still waiting for it to pick up or understand the character dynamics, pretty difficult when many of them were being mind controlled by Thale …..but were they?? Never actually explained either way. Nothing in it to grip me further. As a SciFi lover I was left as Cold as as a Wampa's nuts See more 02/17/2022 Did you like Event Horizon? If so, you might enjoy this. It's sci-fi gothic and it's over the top. There are shreds of realism in the character, but only shreds. The acting tends towards camp -- but the scenario is kind of interesting, as human interact something vast and alien. That and a haunted ship. I feel like much of the hate comes from people who couldn't get through the beginning, which isn't the strongest part of series. See more Read all reviews
