Critics Reviews

Verne Gay Newsday Visually spectacularand a good cast — Wong in particular. Rated: 3/4 Apr 8, 2024 Full Review Wenlei Ma The Nightly (AU) Ambitious, towering and crammed with big ideas about intellectual curiosity, exploration and our place in the universe while still managing to tell intimate stories about human relationships. Apr 1, 2024 Full Review Shirley Li The Atlantic I get a kick out of realizing which portions of the trilogy the show’s creators have chopped up and rearranged, delighted to be shown parallels among characters... and still find Benioff and Weiss to be great at writing memorable, economical dialogue. Mar 25, 2024 Full Review William Schwartz Book & Film Globe Netflix has taken an introspective story about the depression and nihilism inherent in collective scientific possibility and turned it into a romantic narrative about the individualist triumph of those people smart enough to drive scientific progress. May 5, 2024 Full Review Ricardo De Querol El Pais (Spain) Perhaps everything happens too quickly, maybe some characters need more room and the viewer needs a break. But the plot is surprising, it intensifies and delivers a twist to the current debate about where technology is taking us. [Full review in Spanish] Apr 22, 2024 Full Review Austin Burke Austin Burke/Flick Fan Nation It asks a series of interesting questions and presents a string of intriguing SciFi ideas in the process. It results in an engaging and mysterious series that will keep viewers invested from start to finish. Rated: 8/10 Apr 12, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Reviews

Mark S Interesting take on the alien invasion plot line. Interesting science. I really enjoyed this show, looking forward to season 2! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/16/24 Full Review Doug P Didn’t read the books so I am. It comparing it to anything. I really enjoyed it. It had a good story with cool visuals. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/16/24 Full Review Diana G Good sci fi. A little clunky in parts, so I can understand the wildly different reviews. But, overall an extremely watchable series. If you asked some of the low scorers, would they watch a second series, I bet a high percentage would say yes. I look forward to a second series to see where the story goes next. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/14/24 Full Review Stephan G This is a tough one. As many already pointed out, the series starts very well. Interesting, with some strong narratives. But somehow it looses all that in short time. There is a "jump the shark" moment, which is cool but - if you start thinking about it - just nonsensical. And that goes on. The narrative looses all logic by the time. Like there is a big failure sometime, where you think: How could they not check this weak point? A normal engineer would double and triple check that weak point. Also in the end it draaaags a lot. Toooo much. So: This had potential, lost it ... but there is still hope. Let's see, what happens in the second season. If there is one. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/13/24 Full Review Audience Member Strong Start, but a slow decent into mostly poor acting and storytelling. Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 05/13/24 Full Review Dave B Feels very rushed and nonsensical. Eliza Gonzales seems only there for sex appeal. They desperately tried to find a way for her to be almost naked. But at least there's a purpose. No other character has any identifiable reason to appear on screen; other than the one guy w cancer whose purpose seems to be trying to figure out whether to tell another character he loves her. It's not compelling. The giant egg cutter scene was ridiculous. Killing hundreds or thousands of families on a boat for no reason. No way to justify it and its surprising that scene was greenlit as shown. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/13/24 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
