Yeah, as soon as the crew was introduced and the shenanigans that followed, I was out. It reminded me a little of the Prometheus crew but made them look like actual intelligent professionals. It’s like they had an amusing traffic switcharoo and dropped off the party bus coming back from Cabo at the ship, at lift off instead of the actual mission crew.

I agree. I've survived all the way to Ep 5 currently, but when a show has me asking, "Why am I watching this again?" it's not a great thing.

I was finding myself getting snarky about the stupidity of "astronauts" popping open shields or walking around like morons on strange planets with no protection, but then I had to recall Star Trek et al who did the same thing. Perhaps it's not so much that SciFi has changed but that we as the audience have. And the whole monolog early on about how no one is useful beyond the age of 27 (thereby supposedly justifying/explaining a crew of 20-somethings without a fully developed pre-frontal cortex) is purely ridiculous. This leads to ritualistic forehead-slapping when these children repeatedly make moronic decisions.

The real deal-breaker for me though might be the need to jam in every current cultural fight to the point of cringe memery. I'm becoming convinced that the 20-something crew are only the fictional morons...the real ones might be the adults creating this mess. I love SciFi and really wanted to like it, but so far: not so much.

I wanted most of the focus to be on Earth not on the ship. So not what I was looking for.
