Well, the naysayers got their wish as NetFlix bailed on the series continuing. The acting is absolutely superb from most of the cast and there are many scenes that are well written and very effective. Unfortunately for many people this is barely science fiction and I don't think the creators were really interested in the science beyond the dramatic potential of a long journey to Mars. And yes the real science is questionable from the unrealistic instantaneous space communication that suddenly becomes 20 minute gaps, the poorly designed greenhouse, the bizarre lack of backup systems, and so on. But many other science fiction series and films are equally questionable they just don't give discerning viewers time to dwell on it. Yes, it's slowly paced but I never was bored. And yes, characters like these would probably never get far into the training process but face it who is going to watch 10 episodes of by the books astronauts whiling a year plus of travel to Mars? Defective characters make better entertainment.
