Constellation surprised me, I had no preconceptions before going into the show - I hadn't even watched the promo. Bingeing the first 3 episodes I realised this show was going to be a favourite. I found myself rewatching between episodes to pick up on extra details and easter eggs. Also engaging a lot online with people regarding theories and observations.
Only a handful of shows get my attention like this. Reading other reviews it seems for hard core sci-fi fans this show does not have the depth they want. Whilst others find the plot too difficult and convoluted. So perhaps I sit somewhere in-between and found it immensely enjoyable with the level of sci-fi and relationships explored.
I do not understand some of the 1 star reviews, even if the show is not for you the quality of production and acting does not warrant such low rating.
The premise is interesting. The acting by Noomi Rapace is amazing. Johnathan Banks knocks it out of the park the role is beyond perfect for him. The twin girls playing Alice are captivating. And Barbara Sukowa I was very happy to see - always loved her in 12 Monkeys. It is beautifully shot and the writing is of high quality.
Show was written as a limited series, but has kept the door open for future seasons. This can be a little frustrating because a true limited series may have answered some questions more fully. Therefore I hope Apple renew this as I think there are a number of other character arcs to explore more fully that of Henry, Irena, Paul and Ilya.
If your on the fence on whether to try this show I'd suggest just giving it a try. You might be pleasantly surprised like myself. If not, you watch an episode or two and move on.
