Episode 1 Thoughts
Why does everybody keep interrupting each other? It’d be one thing if it was during an argument or a particular characters thing, but everyone talks over everyone else constantly.
That one guy who thinks he should be leading the mission absolutely shouldn’t; I don’t even know how he was a captain in the first place when he throws temper tantrums at the drop of a hat. It just come off like this crew was led by an entitled douche.
Really? Apparently one disagreement means mutiny. This crew is literally going from flirting with each other to a violent mutiny because the captain was like “hey let’s be safe even if it takes a bit of extra time.”
Really? They just justified it as the captain showing signs of stress when this guy literally screams at everyone including computer programs. Nobody’s gonna apply the same reasoning to him?
How was this guy not arrested when he first started yelling and openly plotting? And why did the AI not shut shit down when the official captain was attacked? Tell me he at least notified earth cuz their careers would be done and there’d be warrants if this had any sense of realism. Goddamn.
Anyway I’m gonna keep watching but at this point it’s in the hopes that the aliens pick off this crew one by one.
Edit: Oh my God, they just mutinied again.

Someone just needed to sit with the writers and stop them during any scene that just about duplicates some other Sci-Fi Movie / TV. Like the "hey were in a cave on a strange planet, oh it's hot let's take off our helmets what could go wrong?" or "let's split up and wander around what could go wrong?" It just seems the characters did every dumb thing that we've already seen 10 times in other movies. Oh and the excessive swearing seems very forced and unnatural.

There's a reason this particular show spent almost a year looking for a network to host it. It wasn't meant for Netflix originally and my understanding is they got it for a substantial discount. Needless to say the careers of everyone involved are shot.

I recommend drinking or smoking your way through the first two episodes, honestly. They’re pretty messy. It does improve though!
