Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With a small audience and a quick end and almost no lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for anyone who likes to be kept guessing and sci-fi fans. If you loved Firefly or Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, start here.
The mood
Tense.
The pace
1 season: a few weeks of evenings, episodes of about 45 minutes, about 10 hours in all.
What might put you off
It was cancelled, so the story may not get a proper ending.

In the very near future, a team of eight astronauts embarking on a six-year journey to explore Venus and other planets in the solar system, find their lives and destinies intertwined and carefully directed, not only by Mission Control officials on Earth, but also by an unseen force which is much closer and far more powerful.
