To be honest the show is great. The special effects are amazing and Netflix has done it again. Yea the acting isn't the best but don't forget when Stargate SG1 started the acting was poor. I think people need to understand it takes time for the cast to develop the chemistry between characters. This show is like the STRANGER THINGS but in SPACE. Please don't compare it to the original show. Give it time. It usually takes 3 seasons for any show to really grow on the audience.
