The overall premise was sound enough... A research vessel crashes to Earth after some of its specimen got loose (by the way.. how did they got loose? They were confined during most of the trip back and they got loose close to Jupiter's orbit?).

Then, things start to get weird. The doctor of an emergency response team wasn't actually a doctor? One of the big corporations who runs the world sends a bunch of kids (albeit, in enhanced bodies) to a disaster area with an unknown spacecraft? Really? Nobody had any hint of an idea how to do anything in such an environment, yet they went anyway?... Besides, the director's job looks terrible. I am no formal expert on cinematography, but I have seen many, many movies and series and this one looks wrong. The spotty takes of the disaster aboard the ship when some aliens get loose are terrible. The whole chapter is terribly boring.

I hope future episodes will improve. Episode 2 isn't better than episode 1...

I am not sure where is the problem. Either Chinese storytelling is too different from Western storytelling or it is a bad adaptation of a great book, or the book is outright boring too (I didn't read it, and from what I have seen in this show, there is no chance I will). The show pace is very slow. It is supposed to be about an alien invasion, but there is little or no hint of the supposed aliens. Even the science is flawed, something I can stand if the storytelling is great (yeah, there is not such a thing like a Death Star, but who cares?...).

This is the second recent show I have seen about an alien invasion with little or no aliens and a poor script. I hope it will improve. Writers should stop trying to do scripts for a very small subset of the viewers, and focus more on doing enjoyable shows.
