Reception
Described by Dave Bradley as “a mix of Moonbase 3 and Jupiter Moon, but more turgid than either,"[1] io9 described it as: <templatestyles src="Template:Blockquote/styles.css" />
The best science fiction show you've never heard of… The show unflinchingly looks at the implications of for-profit science… and provides the most realistic look ever at life in space, including bone-mass loss. A few episodes are dull, but the show is often surprisingly weird and fun… It also features some of the most complex, believable characters of any television show.[2]
