Actually a good series but requires some patience and thought, definitely not your star trek / star wars adventure. Done on a fairly low budget - after all BBC save their budgets for re-makes of literary favorites or 19th century costume dramas rather than anything radical and imaginative.
The acting is good and scripts work quite well with a political focus, the science is OK but as with all these sort of pioneer type scifi efforts I always wonder where the manufacturing of the stuff they seem to have is. Arriving on a new world you would want to organise power and food and then basic manufacturing of metals and fundamental materials. No sign of that here. Still a good show with a cliff hanger end which we will never get to find out about.
