An extremely unusual and creepy premise joins forces with solid production values, terrific acting, an evocative mood and nearly perfect cinematography in this one. It all adds up to an impressive introduction to the series, and I'll definitely be back for more.
It's funny to think about the things in your life that can make you cry just knowing that they existed, can then become the same thing that make you cry knowing that they're now gone. I think those things come into our lives to help us get from one place to a better one. And I hope we helped Earl do just that.
Another great episode, however I wasn't happy with the romanticization of women binge-drinking at the end. I wish TV shows would stop doing that. It's not empowering, it's normalizing alcohol abuse.
A very intruiging first episode. Looking forward to binging the entire series :)
Nice world building. And our characters are meaty enough, and carried by good actors.
Considering the reputation this has, not really enjoying it so far (2 episodes down). Don't really care about any of the political Mars - Earth stuff, especially the stuff surrounding Shohreh's character or the characters on the ship. Really only interested in Thomas Jane's character so far. Maybe at this point in my life, I'm just not a hard sci-fi guy.
Giving this another go since I keep hearing about how good it's gotten. I think this is the third time I've watched this pilot episode and I've also read the book, but I can't make any sense of what's going on here. The attempt to set up a coherent story is a failure, with bland actors playing very uninteresting characters. Nobody seems to like each other and all the dialogue is difficult to make out.
I think I'll keep this show on hold for some more days.
Not the best introduction, it bounces around between the characters a lot and it's kinda annoying.
I do like the concept though, hopefully the rest of the series is more focused.
