A weird, psychological scifi which is brilliantly acted by the lead cast.

It is solid but not sexy or sensual in any way but still very mature and terrifying if you mentally imagine its implications.

The first 2 episodes are masterpieces and refreshing everything hooks up to the binge watching model.

But then onwards, it becomes super slow to the level that the mysteries are unraveled in rather dull fashion.

The reason I say absurd is because of the way they are constricted to act or is it so? Assumptions are made but they are not really believable.

One starling fact is the execution is B. S. who is also one of the exec producers of the show. It shows up on the screen and some scenes are childish or untolerable.

I'm into binge watching up until the start of the last episode.

I say, very polarizing idea, steadily executed with no style but spectacular substance.

The lead actors are top notch but sometimes act as if remote controlled puppets.

OK. Let's not compare it to the idiosyncrasies of interstellar or the sheer genius directed gravity but to the other space flicks out there.

It 8s one of the best space experiences, the emotional journey not overly dramatic of the hyper overacting MM nor is driven by the brilliance of the director. It's a space journey revealing in the end as one of the life's solved mystery when a genius becomes a traitor for reasons which are questionable.

Brad Pitt is more realistic than those other 2 masterpieces. It is grounded. And it is very real I mean the story. No exaggerations no silly things. Bare knuckle fury ww2 in space.

What I liked : almost everything and everyone. It just builds on a suspenseful story into a hauntingly eerie chain of events... almost makes you linger on each episodes even after you have watched and gone for sleep or dinner.

It just made me glued to my couch for atleast 2 days and no other TV shows or movies in between the start and finish.

The only gripe is that the antagonist some how turned less creepy in the end due to subsequent change in the priorities of the lead pair and toning down of scary moments.

The finale nicely sets us up for another couple of seasons!

What could be improved in the sequel seasons : characterization improvements of villains and keeping up the terror quotient and blasting us through the roof in climax 😉.
