- Who'll love it
- Made for sci-fi fans. If you loved The Expanse or Scavengers Reign, start here.

- Thoughtful and character-driven.
- The pace
- One season: easy to finish in a weekend or two, hour-long episodes, about 10 hours in all.
- What might put you off
- Rated TV-14: peril. Probably too much for younger kids.
- It was cancelled, so the story may not get a proper ending.
American astronaut Emma Green must leave her husband and teenage daughter behind to command an international space crew embarking upon a treacherous mission. A series about hope, humanity and how we need one another if we are to achieve impossible things.
