g-man Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 (edited) Started watching….really solid sci-fi/thriller starring Noomi Raspace (such a solid actress going back to TGWTDT franchise) and old geezer Jonathan Banks ( breaking bad, better call Saul, Beverly Hills Cop). Anyone else liking this show? Edited March 4 by g-man Dr. Balls 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piper Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 I've watched the first two episodes and not sure what to think. I'm thinking about bailing but might give it another episode. The acting seems solid but not necessarily sold on the script at this point. Dr. Balls 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I like pie Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 It's a slow burn but I am enjoying it. The acting is solid and I think they will nail then ending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a linear show - that's what we've discovered as we are on episode 5 or 6 (we're caught up). You don't really know what's going on, and it leaves a lot to your imagination and general sci-fi knowledge to put the pieces together. It's almost as if the audience is as confused as the characters throughout the story - which I really like. Not that I'd want every show to be like that, but it's kind of cool that we are so far in, and we're just barely understanding what the "experiment" is doing. Even the ancillary characters are hard to figure out. I can see why people might have an issue with it - but I really like what's going on with it. It's almost like a detective-style sci-fi show. g-man and piper 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like pie Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 I wasn't a fan of this past episode. It seemed like they could have summed it up in 12 minutes but stretched it out. One more left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I like pie Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Ooof. Such a disappointing ending. The acting throughout the entire series was excellent but the writing really fell short on sticking the landing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seemed like they wanted the viewer to make assumptions and conclusions. I like pie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The acting throughout the entire series was excellent but the writing really fell short on sticking the landing. Same here. My wife and I - who really loved the show and enjoyed the pacing and mystery of it - felt it was really lackluster. We were also disappointed to learn this was going to be an ongoing series. I was under the impression this was a story to be wrapped up by the finale, which would have been great. Thinking all this has to be revisted a year or two from now was kind of a waste of my time. We generally don't invest into these "art house" type of shows until they get a few seasons under their belt and are not cancelled. We did, however, pivot over to For All Mankind, which is good so far, and they've racked up 3 or 4 seasons, so it was time to give that one a go.

CrocHntr Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Be sure to give Silo a try on Apple+ as well. Without a doubt my favorite series of 2023 and one I simply can’t stop thinking about. Best Apple+ series since Ted Lasso. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mix of Bermuda Triangle, Titanic and X-files with nice twist ending but no budget for a season 2. Edited March 31 by aardvark88 sp.

I like pie Posted Tuesday at 03:48 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 03:48 AM So, I am watching Dark Matter and it feels very much like Constellation through episode 3. I think the cast is much better but I was so invested in it's predecessor, I just can't commit yet. Anyone else watching it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
