I almost quit watching mid' first episode due to the unrelenting anger among the entire crew just about. However I stuck by and watched the entire series. On one hand it kept me watching while on the other I couldn't wait for it to end. All in all it was quite absurd and the characters were given little to work with in range other than anger and resentment. A little of that goes a long way and and this went all they way. The acting for the main characters, with the exception of the female lead, was what I'd expect from them - good, considering the direction and dialogue. I was disappointed in Emily Hampshire's performance, though, even if it did improve as the series progressed (or should I say regressed). I liked her in Schitt's Creek, so expected more.
* Best performance was by Mark Bonnar who was the only reason I stayed after the first episode.
I didn't mind the set and I felt like I was on the rig, so I don't agree with other reviews that make fun of it. But the plant life and the premise were a stretch and the ending was even worse than the beginning.
If you can get through the first episode you might hang on for the rest, but the anger might exhaust you. Wondering if the director understands nuance and any other feelings than plain anger. I'm thinking he was working out his own issues with some of the characters.
