I haven't been moved by a story, or by television like this in I don't know how long. The first half of this was supremely frustrating and non-linear to almost the point of daring you to quit, but it is just gloriously brought together by the end. The acting, the atmosphere, the groundedness and realism of the whole idea along with the most immersive score just gave me the most cathartic final episode of anything I have watched. It shows how much our souls, our essences need feeding as much as our bodies, even in the direst circumstances. I thought of Viktor Frankl's "Man's Search for Meaning" more than a few times by the end.

This is a great slowburn of a story that rewards the attention you give it. Thought provoking and challenging and very well thought out. Not what I expected but I liked it more for that.

This has evolved into my favourite Star Trek franchise, particularly with Season Three
