I watched the first episode and it was OK. Quit the second episode a few minutes in because it was a bit cheesy. Should I stick with it? Always wary of committing to a series and throwing away a dozen hours unless it's a really strong show.
- omginternets 10y agoThese things are highly subjective. I think it started to go downhill during the last episode. I then read the book, and my suspicions were confirmed. But that's just me... I don't like space-monsters.
- douche 10y agoThe space-monsters angle doesn't last terribly long, basically just the first two books. The bulk of the series ends up being more of a political thriller. It reminds me a lot of Ben Bova's Grand Tour series, with some sprinklings of Frederick Pohl's Gateway series.
- omginternets 10y agoTwo books is pretty long! ;) I really did enjoy the political angle of the show, which I thought was much more present than in the first book. I have the second book on my kindle, and I read the first couple of chapters... maybe I'll pick it up again.
- douche 10y agoHaha, well, it didn't seem like that long... I ended up binge-reading the latest one over the course of two days after it came out
- omginternets 10y agoIt's settled. I'm on vacation, and I'll give it another whirl ;)
