Another Life

Remember the Pigs In Space segment of the Muppet Show, where all of the most useless personalities were put on a ship in poorly written plot situations, and none of the characters had a single rational thought?

That's the whole show in a nutshell. Right down to Miss Piggy hauling off and decking somebody who disagrees with her, while they are in imminent danger. Hiiiyyyyaaaaah!

So I watched a few more then went straight to the final episode. No regrets. But still, this show is a car crash you can't look away from. Behaviour of the crew sent to save Earth is completely devoid of believability due to the terrible writing not taking into account any form of rationality. The writers may have been teenagers, because that is the only way the characters in this show interact. Zero depth. But maybe that's intentional? Maybe they want the show to be like this so you watch it to feel better about yourself.. reality tv at its worst has more believable emotions.

Is this series meant to tell an interesting story? About what could happen with aliens arriving on the planet? That would have been an interesting show for me to watch. As realistic as possible. And inspiring maybe, like Star Trek could be sometimes.

But it is not. It is unrealistic teen drama pur sang. With people you would never hire for this job. Constantly creating tension, drama, competition. It's Love Island in space. Even the computer is a cry baby, being scared when something happens. Why would you add that to a computer!

Too bad, could have been fun.

I tortured my self by watching two episodes of this absolute garbage show. As if they'd put the most incompetent people on the bloody planet in to the space ship that is meant to save Earth.

Whiny, absolutely moronic characters who think it's worth the 11% chance to kill everyone on board, to save a few months worth of travel. As if anyone with an IQ above 40 would reason "Hey, it's just 11% chance to doom the ship and possibly the planet".

The so called "science" in the show is just out the window as well.

Katee is excellent as always. And yes everything else is pretty bad, but I can't stop watching this dumpster fire of a show! There's just enough exciting sci-fi elements and horror WTF moments to keep me going. Pretty much every episode ends with a cliff hanger that makes me want to see what they cook up next. This is not a deep show at all but think of it as summer fluff to just be fun and let the mindless entertainment begin.
