I was hoping for some character based, hard science fiction. This is not that.
The show is glitzy, with millions lavished on cgi. They desperately want you to judge it cool. Dialog is spartan, efficient and easy to digest. They desperately want to make sure nobody is confused. The characters have been honed via writing by committee and focus testing. They desperately want you to not dislike anyone. The plot is basic: two sentence simple. Again, they don't want anyone confused. Humour is absent.
The show mass market confection, and easily forgotten. It is the science fiction equivalent of The Olive Garden.
