Where to start with this one?

I find the actors are doing a good job with the material they were given. I don't expect any of them to win any prices, but not anywhere near bad enough to pull you out of "the zone".

With that said, I did get pulled out quite a bit. The cinematography is kind of strange in some episodes. Like the director had just binged some movies and decided to use the same techniques we've seen before, but in places they don't fit. We see a sideshot of Will pushing a massive rock, with epic music playing. "Look at what he's doing!" The camera pans around, and to nobodies surprise, it's the robot doing all the work, while the music shifts to a more relieved tune. It just doesn't work.

And it's chuck full of cheesy clichés. The father says "I'll take care of it" and pulls out a knife and stands in a hero pose while the camera lingers on him. That's not enough though. You'll facepalm at some characters who's willing to risk all the survivors to save one person. There's no logic to a lot of the stuff they're doing.

The overall story is good enough. They need to get off the planet. That's fine. But each episode and it's conflicts feel rushed. It's problem after problem after problem that needs to be fixed. You get a tiny bit of background story on the main characters. But then it's back to another problem. I haven't counted, but it feels like 20+ problems in each episode they're rushing through. By episode 5, I just thought: "Come on. Enough is enough." It seems we're supposed to care for a character who's dying. But he's been a background character in a few episodes and a side character for 20 minutes. I don't know that guy... I don't care. And that's my main problem with the show. It's moving too fast without getting very far. I could live with cheesy dialog and a few facepalms if I cared about the characters. Sadly I don't. Could have been a lot better if they had slowed down a bit, given us time to get to know the characters, and had fewer and more impactful problems to fix. But when a character you hardly care about is in a deadly situation for the twentieth time? I don't think I'll come back for season 2.
