While these choices made it difficult to get invested in the plot, the acting performances were strong enough to keep me engaged through five episodes.
The show makes an illogical choice by having its characters with seemingly abundant resources slice up a ship with nanothreads (why those even exist in this show) full of civilians when the goal is to retrieve sensitive technology – a heartwarming testament to the value of civilian life
It strains credibility that these aliens manipulate the universe by compressing it into a proton, but too incompetent to handle their own dying planet?
Furthermore, the characters’ unquestioning obedience, referring to the voice on the radio as "My Lord," undermines his intelligence. The show's dismissal of a complex concept as simply a "fairytale" feels like lazy writing rather than addressing the fascinating potential of imaginative storytelling; this feels intellectually insulting, deciding imagination is just some kiddie-story nonsense… Well, that's a level of creative bankruptcy that's honestly impressive.
