I'm not saying the series is bad but it's the same crap we got throughout the 90's grunge phase. Oh! Vampires, depression, dystopian, sadness, dark, dirty, grimy, slow paced... boring! I can't watch this without my brain and soul hurting, it's not worth it.
shareIt's very Australian. Quite a bit different in style than most of the US/Canadian shows.
shareI got 2 words for you: You suck.
shareWhat was grunge about the 90s, Saptor?
Bored now.
I think what the OP means is that it doesn't cater to Millennials as in there is no stock characters, no stock plot lines, no stock dialogue, and not 100% reliant on CGI.
They tend to reject shows that aren't exactly like the show they saw just the night before.
"Few people understand the psychology of dealing with a highway traffic cop."
well if you only watched the first season, hen slow paced maybe makes sense but try watching the rest of the show, it really is fantastic. And the dark part.. well, it was aired on Sci Fi channel, not Disney channel. It's not the Gilmoure Girls in Space.
What I especially like here is that despite the dark undertones (I find them to contribute to the realistic feeling of the show, although it is set in outer space) there is so much fun and good sense of humour displayed here that I laughed numerous times, sometimes even days after watching an episode.
