Review of The Ark

The Ark (2023– )
8/10
Some of the best SciFi these days
9 October 2023
The setup is well known - a lonely spaceship is sent to a "new earth" carrying ultrasmart and very attractive people to set up a colony, but the crew in hibernation gets woken up way early because of an incident.

From that time on they have to face the crisis of the week, while dealing with personal struggles and relationships.

I am half way through season 1 and so far the writing and acting is on spot. The characters are three dimensional, well defined, relatable and mostly likable. Of course no one is who they seem at first and there are a lot of twists and turns ahead.

In that sense this show has a lot in common with Dark Matter, that is one of my favorite.

The writers succeed in building suspense by the crisis of the week as well as hinting to a bigger arc.

In my book this show is far higher quality than many shows with much bigger budgets from major studios.
