Do you want interesting characters with conflicting arcs and unique points of view (like GoT?)? Not here. I didn´t really care for any character. This will sound cruel, but there´s a guy who´s dealing with cancer and I just wanted him to die, as his narrative was so uninteresting and depressing. I can relate to a story trying to convey the struggle of dealing with cancer, but this was just a guy I don´t care about, just dragging the show.
Do you want great sci-fi? Not here. I don´t believe a single theory or idea they promote, it just doesn´t make sense and never get deep into one so I can say "Ok, I can cheer for that". Half of the season is about creating and idea (reaching the alien crafts) so stupid that they obviously fail when implemented. I was so annoyed at being right (the first time they say it I thought "that´s just stupid". Also I have never understood the level of alien intelligence other than creating 4K VR and good marketing while using screens to display "you are bugs". I may be stupid but the information was really sparse and I couldn´t grasp a correct characterization of what´s that civilization like, how is their society, and so on.
Did you see crazy worlds in the trailer? That´s just in some episodes, the rest is just people in rooms talking nonsense. Relationships you don´t care about. The only interesting story was the chinese scientist at the beginning (the actress did an amazing job) but that ended up rather quickly.
I am so disappointed when a show with full sci-fi potential doesn´t work. I´m left wandering if I should see the Chinese version.
