There was a Mars series just last year wasn't it ... kind of interesting but just fizzled. Mars is still too far and too much money away for now.

I notice its now showing on channel 4 have it on my q box but yet to view.

Yep. They just dropped the 1st series on channel 4 (UK) and I think it's great. A slow build intelligent series with an excellent cast but I do worry it has the appeal to guarantee a 2nd series.

Just up to ep 3. Not too bad. Better than the season 2 PC fest called Mars.

Imdb rating 6.7, lots of 1* reviews like "Forget Sci-Fi, this is just Soap".
Then I checked the episode list, they don't even get to Mars!

Cancelled! https://www.imdb.com/news/ni62345541?ref_=nws_sb_nwc_li

There will be no second season for Beau Willimon’s Hulu series The First, starring Sean Penn. Hulu has opted not to renew the drama, which was picked up straight-to-series by the streaming network, Deadline has confirmed.

Thank goodness. The most boring sci-fi program I've ever seen. Have skipped to the last ep to see if it improved. It didn't.
