I found this little marvel by chance and felt compelled to write a review.
The series starts of with an interesting concept, What would happen if humanity got wiped out? Furthermore: What would happen if we got a second chance at it?
The series starts of with 2 very distinct problems:
What defines a human and what defines free will?
Both are concepts which are touched upon in other series of the same genre. Brilliant examples are Stargate (goa'uld/Tok'ra, they are an organism resembling a snake that needs a host to survive. They are defined by being parasitic/symbiotic respectively) and Falling skies.
Both series are good in their own way, but relied to heavily on techno-babble and plot armor instead of meaningful choices based on moral/ethics. Interestingly this series, manages to find a balance between both.
What has me baffled is the response of the critics. The premise and execution of the show is original yet it received bad responses. I disagree.
I highly recommend this show and i hope to see more of it.
Ps.: I would like to buy DVDs of the series, where could i buy them from? (i live in Germany and i have searched myself stupid for hard copies)
