The show looks great and the first few episodes were really amazing. Very smart drama/ sci fi that gets you hooked early but sadly it cannot deliver on it's set up.

At least you won't waste six seasons for it to fall apart. And it really falls apart, lunging very quickly into the ridiculous.

The cast also, don't really have any chemistry in my opinion. Benedict Wong, Jonathan Price and John Bradley are cast well and deliver but the rest of the cast are very forgettable.

The premise is interesting but maybe it is just too difficult to execute on screen. Perhaps it is better as an idea in a novel. Who knows. There is a chinese version called three-body which is meant to be much better but I watched the first episode and didn't think it was better quality. Maybe the chinese version holds together better.

This is good if you do not have too many expectations.

Main character is bland and predictable but totally works as a bullier of bullys. The real problem is all the other characters are bland and predictable as well. Still once the action kicks off then it is very much worth a watch. It is good daytime watching if you aren't expecting anything too deep.

Alan Ritchson deserves a lot of credit also. Ive only read one of the books but he nails the character's presence, psychologically and physically.

Action is always handled well. Music score is decent.

It is basically a modern day a team and I'm all for it.
