The acting is no more than adequate and often over the top. Characters often behave irrationally, make unprofessional/stupid decisions and seem at times emotionally unbalanced or psychotic. - no astronaut selection screening? The science is at times crazy -laws of Physics still apply in year 2093! - and the technology presented is t often questionable or silly, to say the least, e.g. the use of shotguns in a spaceship sounds like suicide and the lack of failsafe mechanisms and the total lack of control of onboard occurrences at the bridge, (apparently open to all crew) and the lack of overall security measures.
The series is obviously very influenced by Kubrick´s masterpieces 2001 A space Odyssey and The Shining among other films. Still, good pacing and good sets and ditto CGI. Some episodes were better than others.
All criticism notwithstanding the series is fun to watch. Bring some popcorn!
