I have watched 12 episodes now.
I am a sucker for sci-fi shows where the characters cannot simply understand/interface with/fix technology that is hundreds of thousands or millions of years ahead of ours.
anyway, the flashbacks seem to slow the episodes down a bit but do give the characters some back-story. Characterisation is good and the actors carry it all off well. I also think that the stresses and cracks you see in their characters is developing slowly, which seems to me to be more realistic than in a lot of other shows, where characters ride on emotional rollercoasters.
Although there seem to be some weak points in the story I do want to know more of what is happening but doubt this series will get a look in past season 1 (maybe 2). Having said that, I wonder if the writers have a good idea of where the story is going or will they just make it up as they go along.
