I was looking forward to this as I like a good hard-science-fiction story.
The influence of "2001: A Space Odyssey" is pretty clear.
I found this series to be disappointing: poor plot, poor characterisation, poor dialogue, poor acting, cliché characters, cliché bad guys, the story jumps around between present and past; the only good things are the sets and the surface of Mars. I cannot tell who half the characters are.
I know that this is a story, but certain things leap out. The year is 2017, yet the technology does not exist. Where was the space craft to Mars built?
Regarding the sets; interior space in the space craft does not seem to be a problem; every crew member has well-sized quarters, all the rooms are enormous.
The glowing IMDB reviews do not reflect the quality of this series.
