Unlike a lot of the reviewrers out ythere I really enjoyed this show. Another take on science fiction is always worth watching. As an ever evolving genre new things are tossed in all the time. The casting makes sense for a quasi military scientific mission. A crew of twenty somethings would be pretty much what to be expected. While older shows stuck to the on mission times they could avoid putting the off time on screen.
this show has moments where you want to reach in and strangle characters for sure but they handle the stresses that chacters would go under with danger and injuries and death realistically. I like that. Too mamy shows go either overboard with the voilence or sex. This mixes it well.
The effects are mostly practical in this show. Lots of people want the super pricy CGI effects but dont realize that they cost most of a shows budget.
