Don't really understand how you can give something 1 star when the cinematography and SFX are as good as they are here. Seems like plenty of people watched episode 1, decided it wasn't for them and duly awarded 1 star. Personally I've found the series improving with each installment so feel it may have been judged harshly.

I've not watched the original and know nothing about it so no comparisons made here. I really like the story and the pacing. The characters feel well rounded and believable. There are the usual foibles in some of the actual science, as you might expect from something set in the near future.

There are a couple of tropes that are trotted out, Don being the one that springs to mind as the 'space jock' mechanic, but he's likeable and brings levity, which I enjoyed.

Definitely worth a watch!
