It's picked up a little in the last episode and a half to the point where I'm actually interested in the finale now, assuming ep10 is the last.

But getting there has been a chore at times. At least 3 of the episodes I've had to watch in 2/3 sittings because it was so dull.

episode 10 is slated to be the last episode in season 1. weather season 2 will have more episode or same episode count as season 1 is yet to be known

If 10 is the last one will it be a double length episode? The show has been released two episodes at the time with 9 being the last episode that was released last week.

Mother seems too powerful which comes across a bit silly

Just watched the first episode. Captivating stuff, but those scenes were ridiculous and didn't make much sense at all.

Its been renewed for a second season. I bet that is going to be poor.

I am enjoying the first season, but there are dull/daft parts.

Well that went off the rails somewhat.

Ridley Scott needs to get his fetish with birthing aliens checked out by a quack.

It's too bleak and incoherent to be really enjoyable, but I'm sure I will pick up the second season.

Just saw the ending of season 1. All I can say is WTF!!! That's done it for me. It's too all over the place. Nothing really joins together. Don't think I'll be hanging around for a second season.

Feels like they were thowing everything at the wall, and seeing what sticks. plot wise

Can someone please explain.

What on earth was happening in the last episode? How did the birth of that thing pilot the ship back out. It was beyond ridiculous.

Honestly bamboozled

I didn't watch it thinking it was piloting, it was just in that part of the ship.
The ship just kept on a straight line and shot back out the other side, and up a hole.

There's so much to tear into with this episode. What confused me the most was why they shoe-horned the introduction of so many plot points into the final episode. They could have introduced them in any of the previous 9 episodes to break up the dull monotony and give the show more meaning. It's almost like they re-cut the final episode to include lots of s2 material when they found out the ratings were going down the toilet.

Just abysmal all round.

It's hilariously bad, wastes all that good work at the start and flushes down the toilet.

Why that minor detail amongst the rest of the nonsense?

Why did they not know there were neanderthals.
Why are they devolving.
What was the cyborg skull.
Why show us the cyborg skull to make us think she was gonna have a cyborg baby, then twist within a minute to have her birth a snake.
How did the kids suddenly appear by the hole the ship flew down with a camp fire (was cambion screaming there for hours??).
Why did she decide her baby was not worth love and that it needed to be killed rather than supporting it feeding off the other monsters.
Why didn't they try killing it with weapons.
How is this planet now working in in a weird timeline - neanderthal devolution (assumed from human-level evolution), snake extinction now rebirth, or is this actually the first snake?

Really poorly presented questions to the audience, and too little too late. I don't care about the answers at all because they've thrown it all at us with zero charm and bad timing. I will still watch it, but with no anticipation

Great points. You got most of the ones everyone is thinking. Pretty lazy writing tbh.
