Danger, Netflix viewers... Just terrible. The visuals are fun and are the shows only redeeming quality. The rest of it is... annoying? Unappealing? Upsetting? All of those? I don't know. While watching, the show did stir my emotions but not in the intended way. I was annoyed by the writing. It's terrible. As other's have mentioned, it's beyond sci-fi, or the laws of physics don't apply outside of our little corner of the universe.
The show is unappealing in it's attempts to portray the wife as the savior, genius, problem-solver, intillectual hero. She treats her husband like complete trash. So much so that I really wanted her to die as part of the series. That would have made the show so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for women being powerful and heroic, but this is over the top and if the roles were reversed, there'd be another huge women's rights march. It's that ridiculous.
The show was upsetting because it doesn't go anywhere. The problems are all made up because none of these people listen to orders, use critical or logistical thought in decision making, and treat eachother like crap. In a real situation many of the scenarios the characters find themselves in could be solved by using logic and reason. Instead, they smother everything with emotion and rely on second-hand information to make substantial decisions.
The show had an interesting premise but the writers ruined it. I feel bad for the person who's original vision was mutilated by whatever this has become. 2/10...
