Away (2020)

Those pesky commies are not to be trusted! (Say US writers)
29 September 2020
Oh what a huge universe sized waste of a big budget and talented actors! How the creators expected ANYONE to stomach this bunch of idiot characters as credible astronauts is utterly beyond me. Do they have literally no clue how much psychological training a team of astronauts has, all to ensure EVERYTHING in the team dynamic works absolutely fluidly?!? ANY sign of their destructive behaviour would have them thrown out of the programme from the outset, nevermind the day of the mission! Yet this group of school children are bickering and undermining each other even before the mission even starts. Every single one of them are the lamest stereotypes already but their playground childish arguments, disputes and back stabbing completely and utterly breaks ALL realism this show could've had. It's a huge red flag to me and ruins the whole thing.....And talking of "red" flags, making the Chinese and Russian astronauts out to be like Bond villains is so derivate it's almost laughable, it's just typical US paranoia about those awful communists who we mustn't trust at any cost, yeehaw god bless 'murica!! It's such a shame but I won't be watching past the 2nd episode, it could (and should) have been something really enthralling but instead is an insult to sci-fi fans.
