MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN THIS SHOW ROCKS



It's such a WEIRD fucking fantastic show. Kind of feels like what it would be if you'd make a sci-fi show about androids vs. atheists vs. religious cultists (+theres also some weird and fucked up shit happening on the Planet they are stranded on) and let HIDEO KOJIMA direct it, literally.
It's actually directed by RIDLEY SCOTT

If you don't know what to watch then THIS is a must.

Praised be Sol.

Asserting dominance by T-posing

oh fk, didnt know that. thanks

How does it stack up as sci-fi? The acting quality and the cinematography are easy to determine from trailers, but I wanna know if this is nuSciFi that focuses on feelies and destiny, or old-school sci fi that is more grounded.

Watch movies like Prometheus or Alien, then you get an idea of the feel and tone of this show

I've seen both as well as most (all?) of Ridley Scott's other stuff. If it's a slower-paced sci fi, then I am more interested. Thanks for the reply.

It is. I don't want to spoil anything though.

I’m up to date....I think the last couple of episodes have seemed stretched

 

[AetherMage]

Not at all like I'd think it would be from the name. Going to have to check it out.

It's more fantasy than sci fi.

 

[12Goblins]

show is really good. also love the Souls reference

That bad??!

 

[and 3 others]

I'll ask here since I never got a response in the other thread. Where ya'll watching this? My HBO Max app only has 4 episodes.

He only directed the first two episodes, iirc.

I know it isn't, but felt like a lot of left over and junk concepts from the Prometheus side of Alien.

 

[DESTROYA]

Big nope from me ......not that this looks like its bad that I wouldn’t watch it but I’m not going to add another subscription based service that I wouldn’t watch most of the time like Disney+ and others already out.
Its becoming way to fragmented and costly to keep up with everything .

 

[Armorian]

7\10 so far, shit CG and annoying children.

 

[Mossybrew]

Well it's certainly not good enough to deserve two threads, but it's entertaining in its own weird, slow, slightly silly way, especially since there's not much else to watch right now.

 

[Dav-Kripler]

show is really good. also love the Souls reference

So that wasn't just me. Yeah the solaire logo and the security helmet on the prisoner was very evocative.

 

[Explosive Zombie]

Amazing show so far

 

[AeonGaidenRaiden]

I wanted to get into it the first 3 epizodes but after the 4th I decided to call it quits. Its nothing special and in todays scene where there are so many shows that you can binge in 2 days, this felt like a chore to watch, expecting its going to be better. Its interesting but I dont want to waste my time anymore on it.

 

[TheMan]

I"ve had to push myself to keep watching, mostly because of the sunken cost fallacy to be honest. What seemed like an interesting premise is just meh

Why?

 

[dorkimoe]

I think i have 2 episodes left. Really loving it. Father and Mother's acting is so good

 

[TheMan]

Why?

Since the initial premise was interesting I keep hoping for a payoff. Plus I usually watch while doing work on my laptop so actual time wasted isn't much

What about the premise interested you that isn't paying off properly for you?

 

[AeonGaidenRaiden]

The story just went stale like really fast.

 

[janicetr]

Oh boy, all the Alien/Prometheus shit again...

 

[Hulk_Smash]

LOL you still didn’t get an answer.

And no I don’t know either.

 

[Pumpkin Seeds]

HBO Max is how I watch it. Not on an app, but just the website.

 

[Armorian]

After S1 I bump my score to 8\10, it's quite good and I will wait for S2.

 

[V4skunk]

It's hilarious how people give up after 3 or 4 episodes.

 

[sandkiller]

Nice ending to the Season, a good "wtf" moments that we don't always get in TV Sci-Fi

Oh sorry, I figured it out. I was spamming right on my DS4 when I should of hit down, once!

 

[DarkArterialGore]

7\10 so far, shit CG and annoying children.

The main kid actor kept loosing his hack "Mary Poppins" English accent constantly and started sounding like a filthy Australian. Why didn't Ridley just hire an actual English kid actor?

 

[Irobot82]

I have just started watching this show. That opening is powerful!

 

[jason10mm]

It fell HARD after those initial eps.

Everything started feeling like it was taking place 100 feet from each other, the motivations of characters to do anything became murky at best, and there is ZERO payoff for ANYTHING. The entire season is JJ Abrams style mystery box nonsense. So either wait for S2 to (maybe) resolve something or just skip this show entirely if that thing bothers you.

 

[manfestival]

I watched the show back in June but really loved it. I knew I would after the first episode

 

[Irobot82]

I am well into episode 4 now and it's still great.

 

[Lunarorbit]

I had finally forgotten Campion and his stupid Android mother yelling his name. What a dumb name.

Anyway watch this last year and it had some promise. A little bit off the rails at the end which started to give me prometheus vibes which isn't a compliment. I'll watch a second season cause of the ending and the pretty good sci fi concepts.

If you're on the fence I say watch it

 

[JayK47]

I just started watching this and I hear they canceled season 3. Booo.

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

I always wanted to watch thus. Does this show have any woke/feminazi stuff in it?

 

[I collect VHS tapes]

I loved season 1 but for some reason have 0 motivation to start season 2. pretty weird.

season 1 doesn't
