A group of strangers struggle for survival aboard a spaceship heading to a distant planet.
Most reviews state that it has the undertones of The Thing, Aliens and other shows like Lost. 1st, its not like Lost unless you consider flashback stories a Lost feature. They were not invented by Lost... They had been done before over the years. I am not sure why everyone references Lost when it comes to that particular type of story telling. I can also say that this is not Lost in the way that Lost literally never went anywhere and got less interesting over time. You do get answers in this one and they are fairly satisfying though not particularly mind blowing.
The resemblance to The Thing and Alien are really only surface deep. The show does have a horror/thriller theme but they are light and the series does come into its own by the end. I would also state that this is a more interesting story than either It and Alien because its not just a straight thriller but thats just my personal bias since I prefer mysteries over mindless action. If you just want action and thrills then this probably not the show for you, albeit, they are sewn in every now and then.
I liked it and I am a bit disappointed that it was canceled. Hopefully a studio picks up and continues because the show did hook me in and I want to see what happens next. Give it a go.
