Stars on Mars

Definitely favoritism with the girl clique. They pass the promotions between themselves so no one that is not in the clique gets a chance. Is the show about all of them or just the red head Ariel Winters? Maybe you should have just called it Ariel Winters and crew on Mars! Let Lance have a turn as base commander because in my opinion EVERYONE should have a turn at it. This way you can see who is truly a good commander. Not someone who is continuously claiming the spotlight. I like the show for what it is but I don't like favoritism even on a show such as this. Ariel is too much in command. Please correct and get rid of her. Then the show would go up in my opinion.

I sat here reading some of these reviews out loud to my husband while we laughed hysterically. Some of you need to get a grip. He teaches astronomy and we both know perfectly well that nothing about this "simulation" is realistic. Of course it isn't. They're in the middle of an Australian desert - Fox couldn't afford to send them to Mars, sorry to let you down.

It's a reality show. If you don't love reality shows, you won't love this. It's not for space nerds, or sci-fi fans. It's for reality show fans who also think space is neat. No, there aren't huge celebrities on this show. How often do you see reality shows with A-list celebrities? But the ones they chose can still be entertaining to watch on a personal level. Lance/Neil/Louie Armstrong is pretty funny, for example, especially his relationship with the other athletes on the show. I don't love reality TV personalities, but many of these people are naturally entertaining.

I don't love reality shows. However this one is more entertaining than usual, can be pretty funny, and made us laugh out loud several times. It's watchable, not bingeable. Still, it doesn't deserve the hate it's getting over dumb reasons.

The premise: A range of D-list "celebrities" go through a Mars simulation, which involves living in a fake rocket ship, completing space challenges, and voting out the weakest team member.

The execution: A bunch of people chaotically do things? Seriously, you can barely tell what's happening. The challenge isn't clear, there's no competition involved, everyone is constantly talking over each other, and the filming doesn't capture much. It's like watching a whole bunch of nothing.

For a show like this to survive, it needs one of the following: a charming cast of characters, funny reality tv drama, or compelling challenges/a competition element. Unfortunately, it doesn't have any of these. The interactions and challenges were painfully dull. Maybe it will improve, but I don't have high hopes.

Not really sure what's with all the super negative reviews-it's really not that serious. It's a cute reality tv game show with a unique premise. So far it's been really funny and lighthearted. It's been fun to see the real personalities of these athletes, actors, and reality tv personalities. A few people have definitely surprised me! The set up allows you to get to know the participants more and their personalities really shine through. I didn't have super high expectations but this has really been a fun surprise. It's not high brow entertainment but it's entertaining and fun. Similar to the US Traitors (except much less lying) so if you like that show I'd recommend this one!

So it's Celebrity Big Brother, in a SciFi set.

Besides Rowsey, Armstrong and Winters, who are these people?

"Stars" must mean something different in the world of Reality TV, when even those on the show need to have it explained to each other who each other is,...

The set looks pretty, in a 70's BSG way, with the elements to make non-Space Nerds believe it is a 'real' space habitat. Meanwhile, the Space Nerds will be throwing plushy astronaut pillows at their screens at the designs and layout.

What this show needed, was a ringer, someone like Tim Dodds, Emily Calandrelli or Marcus House showing up and having these 'stars' running in circles while the ringer wins everything.

Two star rating, one for Shatner, one for Shatner being the only person on the show to have been to space.
