Origin

The good: The production values are excellent. Cinematography is of good quality. The horror atmosphere of the series serves its purpose. There are captivating characters. The pacing rarely bores the viewer. some of the flashback sequences, are good as the best black mirror episodes.

The so-so. The plot is not very original. Some characters are too stupid. Not all flashback sequences are good.

Summing up. It's a good series of horror and science fiction, but it could be so much better. Even so. It's binge worthy

I enjoyed this so much, it was complex but simple enough so you won't get lost in the story. Good character development, good acting, good stories. This is so much better than a lot of the shows out their in this genre, too bad it didn't get a season 2.

A series that you should watch at least 3 times to appreciate and get a real grasp of it.

Good acting, interesting Sci-Fi premise, nice filming and VFX, but lacking some logic, real tension and danger. The flashbacks were great though, especially those involving the Japanese.

It flows well most of the time, while in-between, it splashes erratically like water onto a curved wall.

Near 10 hours of dedication, build-up and polishing, to be cancelled. A real shame.

A lot of people are saying this is bad. I watched the whole season in a day and my honest opinion? It deserves a chance. I was weary, thought i was wasting my time watching this, but as i got more involved around episode 5-6, it actually became worth watching. Yeah, it needs work, hopefully season 2 will blow our minds away. But take my advice, just bite down till at least episode 7. You'll realize it was all worth the time invested. I didn't really feel it was worth it at first, but man, was the ending really great. Well done!!

It reminds me of The Thing (1982) but in space. It's worth the binge watch if you are into horror and sci-fi. It also provide some good back ground stories on the character for development. Definitely hope for another season just to see where it goes.
