A remarkably stupid supposedly Science Fiction TV show
This is a remarkably stupid supposedly Science Fiction TV show. It wraps itself up in jargon and professional nomenclature without ever really saying anything useful to the plot or about the characters.
If this TV show written by the author of the original book is anything indicating the quality of the original book, then the original book is extremely poor quality Science Fiction.
This is what we have come to now after a long history of well written Science Fiction that used to contain well written interesting often truly intelligent characters that one cared about or at least were interesting enough to make one want to go through to the end. This "Dark Matter" leaves one wondering how a physics professor could be so stupid as to not have a glimpse of an idea what happened to him. There is a fair amount of gratuitous violence for the sake of violence not really advancing the plot, if there really was much of a plot. That too seems to be missing.
If this is indicative of more recent SF, then the whole field is crumbling into dust like much of current society. Science Fiction, even TV Science Fiction used to be the place to go for interesting escape into a world of ideas for intelligent people. All kinds of ideas not just hard science ones! This show seems to be devoid of any new and interesting ideas. The author is making a fool of his public or is a fool himself or probably both. We seem to be living in the age of the Con Man. Too bad for human society and civilization.
