I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Blistering performances.

I have always loved science fiction with space ships and unknown planets. Two years ago I decided not to watch Mars because of the bad reviews. I was stupid. Watching it now I am impressed with the visuals, the acting and the script. Mars is glorifying beautiful and also a slow burning thriller. This series is about science and all things unexpectedly that can go wrong. A struggle on the edge of life and death. Dont believe the bad reviews, those are from people watching bluckbusters. I love it!

This documentary is basically SpaceX propaganda in a dramatized form. Their over-use of the word "humankind" rather than "mankind" feels like PC talk being shoved down your throat.

I love the idea of the story jumping between 2016 and 2033 to see the now and the future, but I find it sad that the Mars Mission crew plays out like a soap opera.When people are asked important questions, they always hesitate to give the answer and have to be asked twice. A professional crew would never behave in this way. This happens on board the ship and at Mission Control.A lot of people high up in the chain of command ask questions that they already know the answer to, otherwise they wouldn't be so high up in the chain of command. That is why I think it plays out like soap opera. They try to create tension in the story via the dialogue and not via the events.What really makes it hard for me to watch, is how the crew communicated to Mission Control through cryptic messages delivered by a crew member who is literally trying to climb through the web cam and talks as if she is entering a log in her private diary, while actually addressing some 2nd level operating officer back at Mission Control instead of talking directly to her superiors in charge.None of this would happen on a real mission, and don't get me started on the Mission captain refusing medical attention!Because when you're on Mars the best way to deal with a catastrophic situation, is to hide it and pretend it is not happening. Please!

It is absolutely true that there are quite a few questionable incidences, where supposed highly trained astronauts, undertaking the mission of their lives, don't really seem to be taking much schooling with them. An example of this would be the general lack of quick and clear communication between each crew member. Rather every line of inquiry is either met with prolonged hesitation, a vague response or sometimes straight up slurry ignorance. Also sweetie, could you maybe throw around a few more glow sticks before you hand yourself on a silver platter to Mr. mars mutant that must be waiting at the bottom of that endlessly black pit. However!!!The way the entire series is built, having a divided section with inputs from a long list of well renowned experts and enthusiasts giving ACTUAL ideas on colonising the red planet, is absolutely terrific. You also meet NASA and SpaceX employees that let you in on some of the things to consider when embarking on this mission. You really feel excited throughout every episode learning more and more about the real deal, while being deeply entertained with great effects and a solid story line on the other side. All that greatness in one show, allows me to forgive the obvious mistakes that occur once in a while. I am fascinated and in ore - well done.Thanks for reading.
