Pretty good show. Give It a couple episodes to lay the groundwork. It's worth it.
Several years ago I stopped supporting the Syfy channel because they went the way of crappy, low budget and extremely cheesy "Sci fi" programming. They also went with reality tv and the WWE. Mind you this was after they had good series like the reimagined Battlestar Galactica, Stargate Universe and other shows that were thought provoking and edgy. Meanwhile, people like me gravitated to TNT and NBC because they had interesting scifi type shows like Grimm, Falling Skies and Constantine.
This show returns to those roots. It's dark, and is more than a simple bang em up Syfy show. It's a mystery & political drama in the sci-fi genre. Some say it's like GOT in sci-fi. I think it's more like Blade Runner but there is a lot more at stake. If they keep this level of quality then they will bring back many viewers that truly enjoy scifi. This is a big step in the right direction.
