Can't imagine that this is the work of the Great George R. R. Martin.
But, this is one of his very initial works, so can't blame him either.
As far as the TV show is concerned:
So far, not impressed by the first couple of episodes.
Editing is a mess. Lacks coherence.
Story is kinda too chewed up for todays day and age.
In 1980s, it may be a novelty, but, not anymore.
Don't want to give anything away but, this just seems like a bad mixture of many space movies that we have already seen.
Being a Battlestar, SG, Expanse and GoT fan, I can't rate anything but 2 stars.
