Another Life

Remember the Pigs In Space segment of the Muppet Show, where all of the most useless personalities were put on a ship in poorly written plot situations, and none of the characters had a single rational thought?

That's the whole show in a nutshell. Right down to Miss Piggy hauling off and decking somebody who disagrees with her, while they are in imminent danger. Hiiiyyyyaaaaah!

I could hardly get through the first episode, this show is just so non-rational. The basic plot is that there are alien artifacts which landed on Earth and they send a spaceship to check out the source of the alien artifacts. So, how does Earth go about this monumental task? Do they fill their one spaceship with professionals? NO. They fill their spaceship with individuals who are all emotionally compromised and all exhibit signs of severe mental illness. Seriously, the characters all act like preteens trying to solve the case of the missing football or something. It's painful to watch characters who we assume are Earth's brightest and best behaving like nutjobs. Even the CGI isn't that good. The alien artifacts look like something I could whip up in Blender in under a day. Just no. Netflix, I appreciate that you're trying to make more Sci-fi, but please, try again with better writers.

Katee is excellent as always. And yes everything else is pretty bad, but I can't stop watching this dumpster fire of a show! There's just enough exciting sci-fi elements and horror WTF moments to keep me going. Pretty much every episode ends with a cliff hanger that makes me want to see what they cook up next. This is not a deep show at all but think of it as summer fluff to just be fun and let the mindless entertainment begin.

I tortured my self by watching two episodes of this absolute garbage show. As if they'd put the most incompetent people on the bloody planet in to the space ship that is meant to save Earth.

Whiny, absolutely moronic characters who think it's worth the 11% chance to kill everyone on board, to save a few months worth of travel. As if anyone with an IQ above 40 would reason "Hey, it's just 11% chance to doom the ship and possibly the planet".

The so called "science" in the show is just out the window as well.

So I watched a few more then went straight to the final episode. No regrets. But still, this show is a car crash you can't look away from. Behaviour of the crew sent to save Earth is completely devoid of believability due to the terrible writing not taking into account any form of rationality. The writers may have been teenagers, because that is the only way the characters in this show interact. Zero depth. But maybe that's intentional? Maybe they want the show to be like this so you watch it to feel better about yourself.. reality tv at its worst has more believable emotions.
