Review of Ark

Ark (2009– )
9/10
Suspenseful Sci-Fi Thriller
23 July 2010
Starring and produced by Renee O'Connor (Xena: Warrior Princess) through her ROC Pictures, the characters in "Ark" find themselves on a huge spaceship, apparently light-years from Earth.

Connie (O'Connor) took a nap on her couch in 2008 and awakened aboard the mysterious craft. Daryl played by Adam Cardon (Thor's Hammer, Days of Our Lives), is a young astronaut whose last recollection is being on Earth in the year 1959. Both find evidence that they are believed dead by their loved ones back home. Their deaths--so it might seem--faked.

Echoing Harlan Ellison's "Starlost" with a twist or two, "Ark" is an intriguing Sci-Fi thriller which explores the character's attempts to cope with the immediacy of their plight and find answers to the enigma of where they are, why and how they came to be there, and who--or what--is onboard with them.

The production seems to have encountered financing problems and I have not been able to find the series in it's entirety. The first 45 minute episode may be seen as a series of "webisodes" on Hulu as of this date. I guarantee you'll be wanting to see more. I certainly do. Let's hope the full series is not far off.
