I loved this show! Watched it a month ago or so. Another reference point I’d give is an underwater version of Firefly or Farscape: a rag-tag team of misfits with hearts of gold on the run in a ship that’s not quite qualified for what they’re up against. For more Farscape-ism, it was shot in Australia and the cast are mostly from there and pretending not to be.
The production was kind of a mess: the show was ordered by Disney+ but dropped again before it became available to stream, so where it’s available to watch in any given country is a crapshoot. AMC+ in the US and Canada, Amazon Prime Video in the UK, Stan in Australia. Given the awkward production history, I suspect it will remain a single-season show (hello again, Firefly).
For people who don’t like a series that ends abruptly, I’ll give some very generic “vibe” spoilers: I thought it was a perfectly satisfying ending, especially given the show is a prequel to the original novel, so we know or can find out where the story is going. There are absolutely some plot threads left untied which would be followed up in a hypothetical season 2, but personally I didn’t leave the series frustrated by them.
It’s only a 10-episode show, so it’s a very easy watch. I’d love it if they got the opportunity to make more, but I had a ton of fun either way.
