The premise is very week.
01. Alien article appears from nowhere. . .Okay. . .
Where did it come from?. . . .
But it's transmitting. . .okay let's go to where it's transmitting. . .That's a great start. .
02. That set of personalities is not one that any government would send for FIRST CONTACT. They implode in a day after waking up. Come on. . . Really.
03. So the AI. . .no brilliant suggestions or perception of control. . .so if you're going to create a version of an Ai. . .why give it doubt. . .the one thing designed for clarity. .
04. Flow. . .episode one is rushed. . .context is provided later. . .and all episodes are dreadful. . .Too many crisis points at once. . .no character gets developed. . .they are either rushing or shouting or convulsing. . .
I'll try finish the season. . .but so far. . 5/10.
