This series used elements from different sci-fi categories that don't mix well. It's set in the near future and tries to have a realistic feel, but the astronauts aren't anything like astronauts we know from reality. So they aren't believable.
They are left to fend for themselves by mission control in the prep work, which is also not realistic (today).
Had this series been set in another setting or time (independent asteroid mining craft set in the future), these elements could have worked. But as it is, it's not very good. An alternative series that mixes drama, mars, and sci-fi, I would recommend the series Mars by National Geographic.
