Constellation

[through season 1]

This was really an excellent show. Too bad it was canceled after 1 season, would love to see where this went. Still worth watching it.

A sci-fi mystery box where the mystery is worked out by the viewers at the midway point, but the characters are none the wiser. Except it all at does make sense within the story narrative as to why they feel like that. Two competing alternative realities where people in space 'swap' between by accident and end up falling into different lives causing the returning astronauts, if one survives, to go mad from the feeling of uncanny valley and not belonging.

Saw only 1st episode. Extremely, unnecessary, slow paced. There are scenes where you can fast forward without loosing anything. Bland characters. Afterwards I read reviews, and many said that the first 3 episodes were ok, but then became boring. Despite the intriguing scientific themes, I ultimately chose to spare myself from that experience.

I quite enjoyed the mystery in this and I’m excited for season 2. It has a nice dark undertone.
