Very clumsy, amateurish, missing all targets. It is not a comedy, thriller, soft porn or a horror - not even a spoof. First few minutes were not that bad, but it went down like a lead balloon quickly. One would be much better served watching an episode of "Twilight Zone". This one does not deserve your time.
I really liked the series, thoroughly enjoyed first five episodes, anticipating an explosive season finale. Well, after watching the last episode I'm not quite sure whether it was a good idea to watch the show at all. I was watching the last episode and hoping, hoping, hoping that there is still enough time left for satisfying (not necessarily happy) end to the story. Never happened.
Well - not only there was no reckoning doled up to the bad guys, but the good guys ended up in the way which was not acceptable to me - especially the lady detective.
So - be ready for severe disappointment when deciding to spend six hours watching the series, however the first five episodes were really a good watch.
Honestly - this series deserves better than hopeless howling en masse. After reading few reviews, I almost gave up on the show before even sampling it. Now, after watching all 10 episodes - I sincerely wish that the series continue (3 seasons were intended).
It's old-style sci-fi (look back at "Battlestar Galactica', "Alien" etc.), with complicated twists, story line jumps back frequently - not for people who want to watch TV with their smart phone browsing Facebook or some other mush at the same time.
If you ever appreciated Asimov-style sci-fi - you'll find something to like watching "Another Life".
Surely - it's not the pinnacle of TV making, there is something "borrowed" now and then - but it's not intelligence insulting, acting is solid and story line is interesting, production and SFX are good.
I'm an old sci-fi fan, watching sci-fi TV/movies and reading books since mid-sixties - and IMHO you can do way worse than watching "Another Life".
And Katee Sackoff gives you the reason to check this out, if not anything else - she's great, as always.
