An outstanding musical score, great effects, Star Wars themes, and a reasonable level intrigue already makes this a winner for me. A bit hard to judge the acting at this point, as the abundance of action with bots and creatures doesn't leave a lot of room for meaningful dialogues. Certainly nothing about the acting or script is disagreeable so far, but time will tell. I look forward to the rest of the season, and may raise my rating later if it pans out.

I have spoken.

A really good start - I enjoyed watching this. Sumptuous and realistic sets and effects, except perhaps the daemons' eyes are a bit iffy. Convincing acting almost across the board, though some minor character weren't quite there. Someone did a superb job of casting the main characters. Looking forward to later episodes.

Great acting and script across the range of actors. I'm usually quite immune to most tired out horror tropes, but this series is thoroughly chilling and uncomfortable to watch in parts - some images from this series haunt me - it's certainly not for the faint-hearted. The series includes an obvious callout to the perils of weaponised AI. However, the tech angle is a bit disappointing - some of it was just too far-fetched, and others too primitive for a foe capable of interstellar travel.

Overall, this was a great story that kept interest up all the way, but I felt the season fell flat at the end with a disappointing final episode ending. Not sure I can weather another season after this one.
