Stars on Mars

The premise: A range of D-list "celebrities" go through a Mars simulation, which involves living in a fake rocket ship, completing space challenges, and voting out the weakest team member.

The execution: A bunch of people chaotically do things? Seriously, you can barely tell what's happening. The challenge isn't clear, there's no competition involved, everyone is constantly talking over each other, and the filming doesn't capture much. It's like watching a whole bunch of nothing.

For a show like this to survive, it needs one of the following: a charming cast of characters, funny reality tv drama, or compelling challenges/a competition element. Unfortunately, it doesn't have any of these. The interactions and challenges were painfully dull. Maybe it will improve, but I don't have high hopes.

Think "Big Brother" but, it's on Mars and comes with everything that entails.

My biggest issue with the show, is the overwhelming number of fundamentally unlikable "Stars"... most of which I'd never heard of before. (Though, I am British..!)

I've always liked the little I've seen of Ariel in the past, but this show has completely changed my opinion.

I cannot stand her! (Or Adam / Porsha for that matter.)

Lance, Ronda and Marshawn seem like they'd been great to be around... though, Marshawn does have an issue with listening when on-mission! Haha!

Tinashe and Andy seem like solid choices to be on the show. (I'd never heard of Tinashe before this.)

If this gets a second season, or a British version, I'd probably watch it again.. But I guess that would also depend on the spread of contestants.

I sat here reading some of these reviews out loud to my husband while we laughed hysterically. Some of you need to get a grip. He teaches astronomy and we both know perfectly well that nothing about this "simulation" is realistic. Of course it isn't. They're in the middle of an Australian desert - Fox couldn't afford to send them to Mars, sorry to let you down.

It's a reality show. If you don't love reality shows, you won't love this. It's not for space nerds, or sci-fi fans. It's for reality show fans who also think space is neat. No, there aren't huge celebrities on this show. How often do you see reality shows with A-list celebrities? But the ones they chose can still be entertaining to watch on a personal level. Lance/Neil/Louie Armstrong is pretty funny, for example, especially his relationship with the other athletes on the show. I don't love reality TV personalities, but many of these people are naturally entertaining.

I don't love reality shows. However this one is more entertaining than usual, can be pretty funny, and made us laugh out loud several times. It's watchable, not bingeable. Still, it doesn't deserve the hate it's getting over dumb reasons.

Watch a bit, skip a bit, and repeat and hopefully you'll make it to the end. Way too many stupid conversations and moments here, everyone will be skipping ahead.

With a stellar cast of D list actors and athletes dug up from a cellar and narrated by Shatner, whoever thought this would be a good idea should never work in television again. Rhonda Rousey? Lance Armstrong? The most cringiest people I'd ever want to see doing anything. One of Bruce Willis's kids, like what has she done, ever?

This is so incredibly bad. I'm sure that there are house parties in LA happening every weekend that are more interesting than this. 1/10 for just the utter nonsense.

Definitely favoritism with the girl clique. They pass the promotions between themselves so no one that is not in the clique gets a chance. Is the show about all of them or just the red head Ariel Winters? Maybe you should have just called it Ariel Winters and crew on Mars! Let Lance have a turn as base commander because in my opinion EVERYONE should have a turn at it. This way you can see who is truly a good commander. Not someone who is continuously claiming the spotlight. I like the show for what it is but I don't like favoritism even on a show such as this. Ariel is too much in command. Please correct and get rid of her. Then the show would go up in my opinion.
