If you can get past the laughable bad job they have done aging the cast this season, I find the show to still be pretty entertaining. Though I don’t remember a lot of chatter about this one even when season 1 was released. Feels like an under the radar series.

My wife and I are plucking along in season 1. Started watching it a week or two ago and rarely find ourselves watching more than one at a time. I think we have made it through about 5 of the first season.

It is enjoyable enough but also forgettable at the same time.

I've heard season 2 is really good but I haven't actually started the series yet.

I really enjoyed seasons 1 and 2, but have not started 3 yet. Just been really busy. Season 2 was better than the first IMO.

I’m loving it. I don’t mind the aging makeup. Better they spend that money on space scenes.

Wife and I are on season 3 now. I’m waiting to see what exactly happens with Danny.

Season 3 has been kind of slow. Each episode kind of drags, but then they ramp up the action in the last five minutes and leave you hanging for the next episode.

The thing about this show is it's high notes are really high. I'm through 3 episodes in season 3 and there are no high notes yet, but with a plot of going to Mars I'm sure they'll hit some at some point.

I'm still in season 1. Is the general consensus that this is a slow burn?

To me the first couple episodes are OK, but it keeps getting better. I really like it though.

It was entertaining but not enough to finish it. I didn't hate it but was losing interest the more I watched it

good idea for a series, loved Gordo and Tracy, it's not the same without them, and I feel the mars stuff just seems a bit too contrived. that being said, I'm still enjoying watching it...

This new season had been pretty good right up until the very end of the most recent episode. That was pretty cheesy.

So I just watched the season 2 finale (episode 10). That is legitimately one of the best single episodes of TV I've ever seen.

Love this show, but I like alternative history stories.

I've been watching. The story is bogged down on Mars. I didn't really need a gay astronaut and a junky astronaut on Mars. I'm hoping that the group of astronauts on Mars breakaway from Earth and form their own government and tell Earth to go frick itself.

It’s been pretty meh this season. The Danny character and storyline are awful. Losing Gordo and very little of Penny from Lost is hurting the show.

When Sally Ride points a gun at her commander and that was her heroic moment was the jump the shark completely moment for me.

Better than meh, I really enjoy this season. But you're right, Danny is an unlikable character. Maybe he will redeem himself somehow?

And the presence of Gordo and Tracy are definitely missed.
