I've read the first 4 books (and just discovered that the 5th one came out this summer...) and loved them. From what I remember from the books (read them a while ago) the first four episode are solid and the memories are coming back. So far, no major discrepancies between the show and the book. Can't wait for the other episodes. If it's a 13 episodes season we'll probably have a big cliffhanger based what happened on phoebe or something. I'll stop writing of I'll spoil the show to those who haven't read the books yet.
I really hope the show reach the third book story line. They can easily make one season per book.
Just finished the last episode of season 1. I really hope they make season 2. Can't wait.
I'm a big fan of shows that are in space ship, so I'm going to keep watching this. Some reviewers didn't like some aspect of the show, but I think it satisfies the hitch until Star Trek starts again. Like one other reviewer said, it really ressembles a cross with an horror movie and 2001 space odyssey. The effects and decor visual aesthetics are pretty good for the style they are portraying. I'm 3 episodes in, and it seems that we'll be limited to the ship for a while. I have no doubt that this show will get cancelled probably after 2 seasons, but there aren't that many sci-fy show right now, especially with space ships.
Is it wrong for me to like this show more than the new Star Trek Discovery ? Sure, the humor in this is pretty adolescent, but I love shows set in space. Kind of like another show called "Other space". Let's see where this takes us. I like how there is consistency where that each time the captain ask Alara to open a door he repeats the same phrase in each episodes : " Alara, you want to open this jar of pickles ? ".
5 episodes in... very slow, not bad, but not good. Wish we knew where they are going with the whole child thing... If you want a lesser version of Netflix's Sense 8 while waiting for it, then this could be a show to watch. I'll personnaly continu (until I can't take it anymore, or it's cancelled). The characters are very slow to realize what is happeing to them to the point that you just want to shout at the screen and tell them "how can you be so clueless!". Anyway, watch it or don't you won't miss something spectacular.
As a guy working in an healthcare IT software company, I would dream to do what they do! As for the story line, well it's basically like every other medicine shows. Could change as I'm writing this review after just one episode. I'll give this show a chance just for all the ideas and tech in the show (maybe get an idea for the company I work for). It almost feel like a sci-fi show.
Really good. Shows us what we are as a society and a plausible future if corporation are to lead us. Love all the tech in the show and it's not that far fetch. Loved the Season 3 finale, really looking forward to season 4 (if there is one) And, as a Canadian, I cannot not support this show, Eh? Sorry about that.
funny and the best soundtrack for a cartoon, Period.
Love the manipulation, the fact that we're in the dark until the last episodes. I can't see how they would build a second season after that last episode, but if they do come up with an other , I'll watch.
I watch this show for two main reason :
1) There is nothing on TV, and it "satisfies" the cravings with it's kinda sci-fi ish tech based tv show.
2) Kinda want to see the government take over the life and manipulate the citizen with this tech and watch them rebel... (now that would be prime time fall series material), but then again it falls more in the "Black mirror" category.
My reverie would be in space, or basically someone in "The expanse" universe tv show.
What would be yours?
The fact that a young unknown rapper could become a mayor in a city with no background in anything, well it's out there. I'm giving a chance to this show. Could it interest the young generation about the municipal politics? I don't think so, but could be entertaining to watch even if it just become a simple show where the heroes see a problem, fix it wrong then fix it right and everyone is happy again.
