I just can't get into this show, and it boils down (for me) to this:
-Too much time between seasons (a horrible SyFy tradition). A year between seasons (small 10 ep seasons AT THAT) causes people's interests to wane, they also forget what even happened on the show a year ago. Dumb.
-Meandering plot (something about a missing girl and belters and factions and politics and an alien virus, but it feels so incohesive to me)
-Meandering settings (references to random space stations and groups of people are meaningless)
-No real likable characters
-Horrible audio mixing (season 1 was bad, and not fixed in season 2)
-Mumbling/whispering characters (everyone emotes like Christian Bale's Batman), often drowned out by overmixed ambient sounds (see item above)
-That woman with the 50 pack a day voice. Can't stand her, want to fast forward every scene she's in.
Pro: amazing visual production values for a TV show. I just wish it was all applied to a more cohesive story, with better characters.
Ratings are abysmal for a reason. I'm sticking with it, but when I fire up the DVR in the evening to watch something, it's one of the last shows I go to.
