Across the Universe

Title says it all!

As someone who is really into space, my favs being Interstellar and The Martian, this is totally unrealistic from what you would expect from the crew. They are supposed to be experienced and work together on whatever mission they are given. Yet here everyone is in their mid 20's and wanting to pick an argument/fight with anyone for close to no reason. Some of the reactions of the crew and scientists on Earth are a bit exaggerated & over the top.

Loads of space "crashes" and "bumps" that felt the same. Really hope they mix it up, already stated to get old, and this is just the first episode.

Space and the settings looked good! No real complaints there yet.

Looking forward to where this goes with the Aliens!

Couldn't continue watching after the first episode. It just wasn't thought through. Just too many questions. An important mission with this team with such unlikeable characters? How? Why? Did who ever send them form a team so incompetent? Did they matched their skills and personalities? Did the team know eachother beforehand? Did they train together before send into oblivion for an important space mission? Truly, I'm amazed at how stupid this is. Nope, not for me.

Bunch of milenials at a rave in space. Don't bother lasted 15m.

It is hard to parse just how bad this writing is. A talented enough cast, but what were they thinking? Even ignoring some glaringly stupid basic science mistakes which were needless with this kind of budget.

A crew of pouty, whiny 20 somethings who don't wear uniforms and have zero discipline are sent off to save the Earth. Did competent and sane people go instinct for some reason? Was there some massive planetary extinction event that wiped out everyone of intellect and reason?

I love starship shows. I really do. I love them so much I am going to continue watching this complete trainwreck. I may, however, be rooting for every single person to die terrible and gory deaths.

Given two stars because at least every single character is believably loathsome and stupid so I can only assume is sticking to the script pretty well. The sets are also decent.

I'm going to be completely fair as this was only episode one. I'm a massive fan of the genre and katee sackhoff brought this to my attention the minute it was announced. The first 10 minutes of the episode felt like a recap of previous episodes where we'd actually seen some story/character development prior to the ship leaving. In reality it was events that basically already happened and we are joining the story a quarter way through. I didn't like that. I'm half way through this series and will say it does get better but I wouldn't hold hopes for season 2. The pilot is pivotal to continued viewership and it seems most people thought the same. It's a shame
