The Ark

As it now stands, this series is underrated. Since I am very tough when I rate something, I sincerely do not understand all the hate it has been getting. While it's certainly not a high budget endeavor, they clearly make the most of it. Next, there are plenty of mysteries to keep one's interest while attempting to figure them out. The characters are both likable and unlikeable, simultaneously, which is another interesting draw; the investment leading one to find out which side they ultimately land.

Frankly, I'll stick with an average show basically because there's so little out there that's any good nowadays. But this is something I'm not just watching to kill time. I'm guessing those giving a rock bottom low rating watched the first episode and bailed before giving it the time it deserves. Definitely not a "10" but much better than the current rating [4.0] indicates.

In the end, I believe I already know what the big twist will be. I won't spoil it, but I'm never wrong when it comes to these things. For those who keep watching you'll see that I'm right.

I actually like it. Not stop problems happening on the ship and possibly Aliens attacking them. I really think this will only get better as well by the second season. Like most Series. I'm not just why it has such a low rating overall, because when you look at the Episodes individually, they all have a really high score. Such as the series finale. It's an 8/10 and it's bloody good. So ignore these neigh sayers and make you own minds up. The basic story is the World is in its way out. Hence the Ark. I can certainly see this becoming a Sci-Fi Classic for sure. I'm now just waiting on season Two.

Hoping for better and expecting worse. The premise is good though hardly original but there the good part ends. I have to wonder if after watching the finished product the creators looked at each other and said " Hey this is some good stuff ". They must have because somehow this is now a tv show.. the sets look like they were filmed at a high school, the acting and CGI are subpar but not awful. Where the show truly fails is the characters. Remember the pilot of Lost and TWD where you were quickly invested in the characters? Definitely not here. Nobody stands out . I guarantee that after this you'll never hear from 80% of these actors again. A couple veteran actors would have gone a long way but nope; just a bunch of uninteresting faces. A strong lead would have helped too. The characters are not particularly whiny and a couple worked well together but I don't remember a single name. Will be flabbergasted if this gets a second season.

The premise is interesting, though I've seen this idea before. The first episode wasn't very good because of poor acting. But we've continued to watch it (finished 4 episodes so far) and I have say it's both growing on me and the acting is better - most of the actors are growing into their characters and becoming more believable, and evoking my own emotions such as finding some likeable, some irritating. I was glued to my seat during episode 3 and worried about what was going to happen next. The crew seems to be in one crisis after another, which can be tiresome as a continuous plot device. I am being entertained now, though I can't give it more than a 6 at this point.

I honestly thought Season 1 wasnt very good, but I kept watching, and somehow it sucked me in. Season 2 is where this show grows to something really interesting at times but still keeps its overly dramatic young adult stuff, it could've been so much better.

This show has some decent Star Trek-like episodic stories. Captain Garnet even has a classic Captain Janeway's "What the hell is going on?!" moment.

I like the difference yet similarity of the spaceships, establishing their own distinct style for the show.

Maddox vs. Trust was a decent plot with some good backstory.

The augmented superhuman Kelly with nanites was a decent subplot because it has some obvious holes.

The GSA vs. EF subplot was also pretty good.

Pavle Jerinic as Felix and Paul Murray as William Trust were great casting choices, they did a great job.

I liked it because it felt like a cheesy '90s sci-fi show with no budget, like using Reece Ritchie to play both Spencer and Ian was a clever way to cut costs.

With that ending? I would love to find out what happened with the other Arks and the colonists at Ross-128B. Higher life?

Its clearly setting up a Season 3 right?

It feels a bit like they are building toward a Star Fleet kind of thing and im all for that!

Hope for Season 3 and a movie!
