Anyone make it through season one of "Dark Matter?"

Kind of out of TV shows. Enjoyed Silo, Severance. I've got a season of STgrinning smileyiscovery sitting here but can't get motivated, has gone down the tubes so badly in terms of story quality/integrity.
I see Dark Matter is up to episode 8, thought I saw it was renewed... The first episode held my interest, the fake bizarro Chicago didn't bother me too much, struggling with the second episode. Anyone stuck with it through Ep 8?

I have watched all of them so far.
I hope the finale episode tomorrow is decent.
Not much on right now.
I just finished The Last Thing He Told Me on ATV and it was interesting enough to hold my attention

It's on my watch list, but will not be for a few more weeks.

I love it.

Edit: it gets better with each episode.

I read the book about a year ago and enjoyed it. Interesed in seeing the adaptation, but will have to get another ATV renewal somehow to pull that off.

Did not like the book at all.

It was all "magic the magic magic" hand-waving.

No "science" in it. Could have run the story past a few scientists to put a patina on it, but instead the author chose to make a bad fantasy novel with a few "sciency" phrases thrown in.

Keep watching.

At episode 3, I was ready to stop watching. Now, I'm on tenterhooks waiting for the final episode.

I've watched the first episode. I listened to the audiobook and found it ok. Got a little predictable towards the end but helped with the commute and weekend chores. The first episode didn't grab me like some other shows on ATV (Silo, Slow Horses, Hijack) but will probably use the show as a filler when I don't have something else to watch. Glad to hear from special that it gets better.

I agree that this was definitely soft science fiction, no technical explanations, but a couple concepts which I thought were particularly intriguing - to avoid spoilers I'll only allude to exploring the infinite - that other tales of a similar vein hadn't really addressed or even introduced.

Haven't watched Dark Matter but have started watching Sugar which, to me, is a pretty slick production.

I enjoyed Sugar a lot, but would have liked it more had it not made a turn at Episode 6.

There were hints that I thought it was me, but it wasn't.

Colin gave a really good noir vibe, that pulled me right in.






I am that Masked Man.

All you can do, is all you can do.

There’s trouble — it's time to play the sound of my people.

Your boos mean nothing to me, I've seen what you cheer for.

Insisting on your rights without acknowledging your responsibilities isn’t freedom, it’s adolescence.

I've been to the edge of the map, and there be monsters.

We are a government of laws, not men.

Everybody counts or nobody counts.

When a good man is hurt,
all who would be called good
must suffer with him.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead.

There is no safety for honest men except
by believing all possible evil of evil men.

We don’t do focus groups. They just ensure that you don’t offend anyone, and produce bland inoffensive products. —Sir Jonathan Ive

An armed society is a polite society.
And hope is a lousy defense.

You make me pull, I'll put you down.

I *love* SIGs. It's Glocks I hate.

Thanks, fair chance I'll forget this comment by the time I watch it.

Episode 1 just didn't peak my interest, maybe I'll try again. But if we stay on "dark" themed titles, I just binge watched Dark Winds on AMC. IMHO a fantastic show but now I have to wait until next year for season 3.

In the dystopian 27th century, six people wake up on a deserted spaceship with no memory of who they are or what they're doing there.
I feel like I watched at least some of this.

I took a look at Ep 1 of DM2015 and it doesn't look familiar. Gonna give it a spin, thanks.
