There were 6 episodes on netflix, 3 chapters in 2 parts each. We finished it last night, it gets a solid "meh." from me.
What is wrong with the sci-fi genre? I feel like almost every sci-fi that looks worth watching has a good overall concept with mediocre acting, shitty plot points and shitty special effects.
**WARNING SPOILERS** (Although it wasn't very good so whatever)
My major complaints with it were 1.) Why were there "upper and lower decks" its a government funded project, there's not going to be a social class system and fucking economy inside a deep space vessel. They could've kept the exact same plot and just had the antagonists starting to go stir crazy (because they live on a freaking spaceship and never have and never will see dirt or feel the sun, reason enough to go crazy) instead of organizing a coup on the "lower decks." Stupid.
2.) The girl with supernatural abilities thing wasn't the best or worst plot idea for a sci-fi show, but they sure fucked it up with the cheesy orb of electricity and mediocre child actor.
3.) I guess you kind have to accept that it takes place in an alternate reality but some of the technology shown on the ship was way too advanced for the 60s. A handheld wireless device with an LCD screen?
I really enjoy the sci-fi/space genre, I don't understand why all the shows in it have to suck so bad.
