Incredible story! Better than any science fiction. Things feel very real and give you the real picture of how things would be like. The first thought that I have watching the crew struggles was there is no such thing as redundancy in space! You can never be redundant enough! Anything can happen at any given point. Anybody can be anywhere when that happens. You need to be prepared for any scenario, especially the impossible ones.

Rather than being an uplifting series on future Mars exploration, this series was a slow slog to nowhere. Acting was stiff and the fusing of current events and fiction was awkward.

Spent the $20, and after watching the first episode it seems like it was worth it. Can't wait for the next 5!
