Yeah, I figured out pretty quick that it's attention to science was at a 5fh grade level. Or less. It's certainly no Expanse.
For the moment, I'm finding it funny. We'll see how long that lasts, haha

Why? What happened to Batmans parents?

WB has a thing about reserving Batman for films. That's how we've had Birds of Prey, Gotham, Pennyworth, The Penguin, and now this steaming pile.

The worst thing is they pepper in attempts to show they pay attention to science like it's a hard science show only to completely disregard that point specifically.
"Oh what about solar sails to push us away from its path? What, we're too far from any suns!"
then later
"Oh, wait, the asteroid is a comet, you can tel by its tail!"
Comets only have tails if they're near a sun.
And nevermind all their inconsistent stuff about gravity.
Establishing the spinning is required for gravity and then... they have gravity on the bits that don't spin. And on the bit that spins, they walk where the ceiling should be and have domes implying they'd be bowl shaped if the gravity was working correctly.
Plus, they're under thrust! They're ignoring thrust gravity, too.
Also, where do they get their seemingly infinite supply of oxygen anyway? They have a leak and suddenly, the air gets refilled just by being to locate the leak, not by actually plugging the leak.

I fucking died laughing at episode... 2? 3? Where "oh no! we're going to hit an asteroid!" was the premise of the episode? Fucking hilarious. How completely fucking idiotic and unrealistic, even for a bad scifi show.

Yeah. It's not The Expanse, unfortunately. I truly just try and take what I can get these days. Also I think the main chick is kinda cute in her own dorky way. It's possible that it will lose my interest eventually.

It makes you nostalgic for the cheap foreign imports that SyFy was peddling years ago - at least they were trying and could be fun.
This is just low effort and cheap.

You're right about that 2 decade old throwback thing!
Its like a cheap attempt to cash in on the 00s BSG that somehow got shelved and forgotten about.
A ship full of earth's best and brightest who will set up a colony don't know what a comet is("it has a tail!")

I'm absolutely watching it, because it's unintentionally funny as fuck
It also seems like it's a 2 decade old throwback. This show would seem totally normal as a 90s era scifi show, and probably would do ok in the ratings.

Watched half of episode 1 and although I love scifi it was crap.

I don't even mind the tropes, its just how badly they are executed.
Even down the generic looking sets and props.

I forgot to add the sets and props and hell even lighting are awful lol

I'm sticking with it for now. It's full of tropes, but there's not enough new space sci-fi on tv that isn't Trek or Star Wars (of which I love both).

I thought that was Joe Cool.
EDIT: For anyone who doesn't know what I'm referencing, this scene from Harley Quinn.
