You cannot fully judge a book by its cover, or a series from its Pilot, yet it shows incredible promise. Richard Madden displays in yet another show how good of an actor he really is, most of the surrounding cast is on par, and immediately you feel there is depth to the characters they play.
The plot appears plausible and realistic, the scifi elements are well thought out, complemented by good cgi and very good directing. It feels like a spiritual successor to Earth II, only better in every way, and more complete.
There are some bits of acting I dislike and some parts where I found the plot lacking, with as much of the story not being revealed its entirely possible my opinion will change.
