I was not incredibly impressed by this series' advertising, but one of my favorite up-and-coming directors, Mike Cahill (Another Earth, I Origins), directed the pilot, so I watched it. And I dig it so far. I have a few notable qualms—the so-chic-so-disillusioned vibe of the characters can feel more practiced than poignant—but the storytelling is mostly involving, the world building is fun, and co-star Olivia Taylor Dudley is absolutely gorgeous. I will give it a whirl for a while.
And I broadly respect Syfy trying to up their game in regard to original scripted content. It seems well-timed, if not overdue.
