    It was basically like The Walking Dead, but in space.

    This right here. I loved the idea of a gritty survival arc in a mysterious sci-fi setting. In practice: one season was all it took for me to hate every last character in the show.

    Just like The Walking Dead, if the story relies on characters doing out-of-character-stupid-things to manufacture drama, it’s not entertaining anymore. Alternately, if everyone is constantly undermining everyone else, there’s literally nobody to root for. It’s like watching surveillance footage of a prison.
