The first 5 episodes are very strong with sci-fi themes. The last 3 episodes are weak watered-down relationship tropes that honestly the show did not need whatsoever.
Why hook your sci-fi lovers with sci-fi content, then push them away at the end? Did Netflix think that by adding some emotional writing at the end would hook the non-sci-fi lovers? I don't think it serves either type of person. Just leave it out.
With that said, I can appreciate some of the emotional content that was peppered in the first few episodes; It kept the show grounded. But anything more than that was unnecessary.
I still liked it, but I hope season two will trim the fat and deliver mostly sci-fi. It's a very compelling story!
