Certainly the worst thing I've ever seen. I bet Barbie's movies are better sci-fi than this. I just got to the end by fast forwarding in the hope Charles Dance would somehow conjure Daenerys' Dragons or something like that.

Best SyFy series I've seen

First episode was promising, after the second I already lost interest and the third just played along. I would not have went on had this been a longer running show. I haven´t read the book but from what I can gather from several reviews of this show on the internet there isn´t much of the original story in it anyway. I´m sure Clarke´s book was revolutionary - this show certainly is not. I was constantly asking myself what is this about. What´s the point ? Religion ? Faith ? Science ? What is the message ? Humanity is supposed to perish ? We´re not able to help ourselves and even if we are there is no sense because in the grand scheme of what is the universe we are nothing but a stepping stone? This could easily be sponsored by some kind of doomsday sect. Seriously, I could not, in good conciousness, recommend this to anyone.

I really was thinking this was going to be a "Under the Dome " style. But really shocked it's not and this show does have its far fetched parts, almost feeling like "the whispers" with the unknown/aliens taking the humans or some and then having them relive events of the past and seeing dead people from the past. Making Karellen to look like the devil is nuts but yea won't go into full detail cause this was 1st episode. But not a bad first episode need to wait to see what's to come with next ones.

I'm not normally one to complain about slow pacing, but it's warranted in this case. This story could have been told in half the time. Not that it's anything to write home about. There's some potentially interesting backstory that gets no screen time whatsoever. The only interesting part is about ten minutes in the third episode when we spend some real, quality time with the Overlords. Granted, I haven't read the source material. But given that this miniseries' contemporaries include The Expanse, I *know* that good sci-fi can still be put on TV in the mid-2010s. This just…isn't it.
