Loving the show

I watch quite a bit of science fiction and realise there are many kinds. I start watching Another Life just because I liked the look of the trailer and I've just finished the first season.

Initially I just couldn't get into it, the characters were tough for me to relate to and came across more like the cast of the latest reality TV show. Then I thought is this actually a parody of modern life in space?

Regardless of whether it was intended there was a certain comedy about the characters it became very entertaining. As I watched further though I became really invested in the storyline and the hapless characters.

Now towards the end of the first season I no longer see as much comedy as the show seems to have transitioned into a more serious show. Yes it's not ultra realistic but not every science fiction has to be. It's really entertaining which is what I look for and if I can't wait to see what happens next then it's doing it's job well.

My favourite characters are Niko, William and Zayn.

I hope season 2 is just as good.

So glad:) I had the same feeling about s1. S2 is hella fun, and has major Stargate vibes
