I get why people are picking at it I do, and maybe I'm just desperate and mildy deprived of good old sci-fi ... But me personally, I liked it. Yes it's not the best written thing since Mama Mia and no it's no Alien. But look... It's in space, there's unknowns , psychics, matrix plugin ladies, genetically enhanced humans and even alien strobe light tentacruels. I mean come on. Its stole from all the receipe books and executes most of the dish well enough to pass as a palatable experience.
If your stuck watching reruns of murder mysteries or something and you yearn for a short sci-fi fix. Look no further. Provided you have already watched the expanse . If not watch that instead.
