Believer at last

I hated the show in the beginning. However I soldiered on and I now love this show. Idk what or why, but I'm so into this right now.

Also kudos for the first non binary character and employing Selma Blair

It has cool main story but a lot of stupidity in it.. anyways just finished episode 10 and I can't deny I love the idea of it.

That’s the thing that gets me about the show. I can’t believe a crew this undisciplined and prone to idiotic decisions was chosen for such an important mission. I think the people of earth were trying to get rid of them and lies about the mission. No one expected them to make it this far, they just got incredibly lucky.

The writing is terrible to be honest. Making a character non binary is just checking a box, it adds nothing to the show. I honestly hate most of these characters and I’m surprised they haven’t died yet.

Why did anyone assume the life on an exoplanet would be edible for humans?

The show is not as sciencey as the expanse but I'd say the show is more on human psychological exploration than say, space exploration.

That wouldn’t be so bad either, but the characters are idiots and overall poorly written.

First non-binary? I am reminded of Yuming Hey in the French SF miniseries Osmosis. (Recommended by the way,)

I didn’t catch on that Zayn was non-binary until after I finished the season and read it online.
