I like SciFi, so I was very courious about this serie.
After some episodes, to be honest, I am a little disapointed.
Usually, the disapointement, is on the special effects, but this is not the case. Everything is pretty much accurate, nothing very fancy, was not needed but sometimes they seem to be fixing an old battleship, but they are ok.
The disapointement is on the story it self.
Seems like a mixing of Close Encounters of the Third Kind and Alien. Nothing really new. Also, was a bit fast the way they found were to go, even they don't know almost anything about the artefact. The writers could explored a bit this, some more investigation, some tek work on earth, but they decided to send the crew right into space. The serie seems like is rushing trying to get new issues all the time, not stopping for a real investigation, some, well, CSI stuff.
The virus problem could be a bit more explored, but was fixed in 1 episode.
But even, is a nice serie to watch and I really want to know what will gonna happen to the crew and the earth, but please, try not doing a GoT thing, like trying to figure out what will be the next death. Please don't kill August. I will stop watching :D
A good word for the actors. They are doing a pretty good job there.
