I have been planning to watch this show for quite a while, as I watched the original British show on which it was based "Space Odyssey: Voyage to the Planets".

I had no idea what to expect from this show, as honestly, I didn't really care for some of the elements they added. I read a that the show was originally pitched as "Lost" in space, but seeing how I have never seen Lost, I don't exactly get the comparison, but I think it has something to do with the supernatural elements of the show. It was those elements that I didn't really care for.

At the same time, the back story of the troubles the astronauts faced during training as well the their interpersonal relationships was okay.

Honestly, I thought there was some kind of lesbian aspect to the show before I watched it, because all the posters I saw of the show only showed women.

I would have to say I preferred the original British series, being that it was based on science theory (with no superfluous supernatural elements). Also, being that it was a mini series, it had a clear ending, and went together in a logical way, unlike a lot of series, where it seems like the creator (or writers who have taken over those duties perhaps) has no idea for an ending of the series and just throws in various elements to wrap it up, that creates more questions than it answers. It's easy to throw in some peculiar elements to the plot, but often the creators have no idea for an explanation or resolution to those situations.
