Dark Matter (2015)

reminds me of farscape in initial concept and shares some similarities if you have taste and love farscape this format will be appealing on that level. the writing isnt as good/consistent on minor things which annoyed me bw the first 2 episodes (characters have an exchange in ep 1, in ep 2 they have another which makes it seem like the first didnt happen? in an annoying way) but this isn’t prohibitive to enjoyment it’s just i guess little consequences of writers being a bit different ep to ep. it def gets better as it goes on! melissa o’neil outperforms everyone in every way. they have less aliens than farscape but more emphasis on the escaped prisoners part so they all have pretty badass combat skills that are fun to mentally rank if you’re into that too. the story is going in intriguing directions and i enjoy hanging with the characters. i only wish i could fully rely on what theyve said in the past as meaningful (idm an unreliable narrator if intentional! i just worry there are some oversights in writing. but its not put me off yet)
