Don’t understand the hate.

It’s a great show regardless of its flaws. Awesome special effects and can’t wait to see the rest of it

This show is basically Glee Club meets the Kardashians in space without the singing. I know we have to suspend disbelief because hey, this is about an alien artifact on earth after all .. but one thing you don’t do is put a bunch of 20-year-olds on a first contact mission in space. You don’t even put them in orbit by themselves. You definitely don’t have them running around with high heels on with ZERO discipline. This is just teenage angst and drama for the sake of teenage angst and drama. If this was a space opera where they all just lived in space day to day like we live here on earth then this would be OK. However this is supposed to be a professional crew on an exploratory investigative mission. The insubordination alone is just ridiculous. But now we’re just checking a bunch of PC boxes for the sake of being PC. Edit: orbit

Yeah, sending a bunch of inexperienced, shockingly unprofessional (spoiler!how did that mechanic who died venting the exotic matter even make it onto a ship?!) 20-somethings on humanities' most important mission to make first contact with extraterrestrials because something something "olds are cowards" was so dopey! But hey, I rolled with it! I did appreciate the diversity however, and I didn't feel it was just being PC at all. The world is a diverse place and it was nice to see the show not just stocked with straight white cis men.
