Pandora

It's got everything you don't want, cliche laden dialog, awkward character actors, cheesy set designs and plot holes you could steer an oil tanker through. I understand why people would sing on to this show. I mean, everybody has to work, right? What I don't understand is how anyone would have thought this was worth producing? Someone actually liked this enough to pay for it. Remember, this is not just a piece of crap, it's a very expensive piece of crap.

Yet really good shows get cancelled all the time. TV companies are really unfair, and this should have never have been given a second season.

Cgi & special effects are about par with other sci-fi shows, dialogue, characters & general storyline are pretty sub par, awful posh English accents, chuck in the usual silly soap opera garbage with the high school drama codswallop & you've got a pretty boring silly TV show, barely any characters are interesting or likeable, sets, clothes & doritos!!! all make it look like a cheap 80s TV show, really can't see who would be interested in this, ignore the idiot reviewers stating they know what sci-fi is, regardless of genre if the writing is good & the story & plot is handled well then it's worth watching,sadly this has none of those ingredients.

I just watched the first episode of this. I seems this is a lower budget offering. If you're watching the fantasy show The Outpost, it's of similar budget, in writing, production value, acting, direction and effects, but, sci-fi instead of fantasy.

It feels like a made for TV show, similar to how the old Xena, Hercules productions were all relatively lower budget shows, though, they were still worth watching.

It's too soon to say if this can be another Xena or Hercules as far as popularity, since we seem to expect and require a LOT more sophistication in story telling, set pieces, and everything else these days when we get spoiled by big budget productions like GoT, The Walking Dead, Star Trek Discovery, etc.

It's probably 1/2 a notch below The Orville in production value, but, The Orville doesn't take itself seriously while this feels like it wants to be more than it is.

I'll continue to give this one a chance. The Swamp Thing has a bigger budget, and I'm watching that, though, I'm putting an effort into trying to like it. I dunno. The whole Flash, Supergirl, Arrowverse formula works really well, and I love those shows even though they're low budget, but, i suspect this is less than half the budget of those per episode.

Eh, We'll see.

Recommendation: I think it's too soon to make a call on this. There are, however, tons of shows that've had far greater popularity, better writing, more likable characters, and production value that've gotten the axe almost right off. if you find you really love this show, don't invest too much, because I expect they're depending on the low budget as one of the selling factors for renewal, but, that might maybe not be enough.

I say give this show a chance to grow and develop, but, don't get married to it. It's something to watch and there's far worse on TV that needs to go away, but, can't ever seem to die, as well as far better shows that've wound up on the chopping block far too soon.

A young woman's family is killed by mysterious forces, which results in her traveling to study with an uncle(?) at the space academy while figuring out what happened back home.

This low budget space faring adventure comes in low and crashes on the runway. Dialog is rough. Production values for a story set hundreds of years in the future aren't at a level to make a believable series. Effects look incredibly cheap. Wardrobe looks passable and futuristic in some scenes, but in other scenes, it looks like the cast shot in whatever they were wearing when they arrived on set. Overall, the series is so rough around the edges that it's surprising CW picked it up for broadcast.
