it's got sloppy dialogue, muddled motivations and a diverse intersectional cast. this is 100% written by an AI because NOTHING makes sense and NOTHING is explained. 2 episodes in and i'm none the wiser.

Ok, 4 episodes in and the writing isn't improving. I maintain there could be an interesting story in there somewhere, but I don't think it's enough to make me keep pushing on with this one, which is disappointing and I was looking forward to this series. While there is multiple larger stories at play, they don't really seem to mesh well together and only the one about beacons turning off and shutting down systems is of any interest to me, but the rocks and the companies and whatever that was in episode 4 just were not interesting to me.I get and like what they were trying to do with episode 4 with the entire episode being an origin/flashback, but the writing and screenplay just isn't working for me. Multiple episodes with characters going from hating a character to liking and loving a character or vice versa within scenes with no organic flow of those emotional states, or being highly suspicious to completely trusting in the space of a scene. Maybe it's the writing or screenplay or maybe the direction because I feel the actors are doing what they are being told/scripted to say and do and they are doing the best they can with the material they are provided. Maybe if you're a fan of shows like The Ark it might be your jam, but I don't even think it measures up to sci-fi originals from 2015 like Dark Matter and Killjoys let alone anything more recent like The Expanse/Foundation.

I thought Season 1 was pretty decent and I had high hopes for where it was going. However Season 2 is a hot mess. That said, the acting, setting, and special effects are fine, but the plot and writing is really immature and most of it makes no sense. Get new writers for Season 3, if they haven't already blown it and been cancelled.

The first episodes of S01 keep introducing new characters which makes little to no sense at first. Later they attempt to assamble those puzzle pieces to a bigger picture. Works for S01 but does not hold for S02. A lot stays unclear. The plot is not conclusive. S02 is mainly build around random events and questionable decisions. I would agree, that these might be AI generated scripts. You recognize a lot of story elements that worked for other shows but here the mix just won‘t fly. It is like AI telling a joke and you remember it been funny in another context.

At times it has the appearance of a B-movie science fiction production, with a single location inside the galactic lighthouse Beacon 23. With a somewhat slow start, which does not benefit from starting in medias res, the series progressively improves, once it finds a path that allows the viewer to understand the reflective tone of the story. There are some isolated episodes that serve to understand the development of the story and learn about the motivations of characters who will reappear later, although the story seems more interested in raising questions than in providing answers. And it is finally revealed as an interesting sample of existential science fiction.
