before i go into the positive and i would like to point out the only drawback this mini series have in my opinion . and that be the fact that it wasn not make like a mini series . this be make like a tv show with a typical end beg for the next season . problem be mini series should be final and should have an actual satisfying end and which this do not . the loose end be not tie up in the way you would expect and on the contrary more and big question arise . now on to the good and this mini series deal with some of the most fascinating aspect of science fiction . without give anything away i will just say that if you be intrigue by the idea in such movie a donny darko and contact and 2001 space oddysey ( or the 200 half 010/3000 book ) then you will enjoy this show . without be too extravagant there be enough special effect to make it look believable enough yet at the same time nothing be too out there . it all just seem so plausible . acting be fine too . have watch all of the episode back to back to back it be just like watch one long movie . for a movie it progress a little slowly and but once you get into the story you would not notice that at all .
