12 episode season. This is independently produced by Dean Devlin's production company.

Unfortunately, this looks pretty cheap. Too bad, since this is like a meeting of the Stargate minds!

This was filmed in Serbia like Devlin's other show "The Outpost" They probably got some good tax credits there over shooting it in Canada.

I agree the trailer makes it look low budget. But then again, it's basically a Indie show without major studio money.

Premieres tonight on SyFy.

If you don’t have cable, it will be available on Peacock the next day.

Thanks for the tip! Does Peacock cary other SyFy shows as well or...?

Yes, Peacock gets day after releases of SyFy's newer shows, like Resident Alien, Chucky, etc.

I kind of liked it. Yes it’s low budget, but It reminds me of a late 90s science fiction show. But it will probably get ripped because of that. There was some decent, but predictable tension. Never seen any of these actors before, so I assume they are mostly unknown.

Looks like Lieutenant Garnet is hiding something from her past. I just wasn’t quite clear why the imposter’s reveal freaked her out.

The episode ran on Peacock 51 minutes without commercials. I’ll just stream it here and save DVR space.

A somewhat unimaginative premise but I liked what I saw in in the premiere. Solid mix of different characters, though Syfy seems obsessed with overly talkative nerd characters. They put one in almost every series these days.

I'll stick with it this first season. The budget CGI isn't great but that has never bothered me.

I found the first episode pretty lame. They're low on food and water, but somehow seem to be OK on oxygen, How does that get produced or recycled? And even with low-budget CGI, I don't think the stars should be flashing past the windows unless the ship was moving at some sort of warp speed. Nits, but things like that bug me. It also bugs me that when shows don't have much drama, they resort to people getting angry at each other to try to produce it. The first episode has plenty of unnecessary anger.

I just finished the second episode and find myself enjoying this show. Not sure why, but I find it to be an easy watch.

It's not a good show, but reviews suggest that it at least gets fun from episode 5, so I'll stick with it a bit longer.

I watched 2 episodes and can't get myself to care about... anything in it. If this was a buddy cop show, it would be called "Bland and Generic".

I've enjoyed it. It's not groundbreaking or anything but it's straightforward sci-fi without any tricks or gimmicks, which is increasingly rare. I am locked in for this first season.

The cast mix is okay. Not great, not bad. A couple of weaker performers but acceptable for an ensemble. The only real standout to me is the engineer(?) who lost her boyfriend. A little surprised they are already coupling up some of the characters.

I continue to enjoy this show, and I did like that folks started to reveal to each other who they were seeing as they were hallucinating.

I laughed when the doctor said something like oh, you are also hallucinating, totally understand, the dead doctor who mentored me is standing right next to you.

I'm through 3 of the 4 that have aired. I understand that some hardcore sci-fi fans might think it's terrible, but I've enjoyed it so far.

The nerdy girl with glasses (Alicia) is kind of annoying, but I get the appeal of having someone like that on this crew. There always has to be some eccentric know it all. Garnet seems to have the most interesting background and she's obviously the main leader.

I was surprised by the reveal about the hot blonde therapist and her hair.

I just watched the 10th episode on Peacock last night. There has been a ton of tv that is fun to watch the past 10 years or so, so I am not going to declare that this show goes into a list of top 10/20/100/etc. shows I have watched over the past 10 years, but I just want to note it is a very easy to watch show for me, a guilty pleasure if you will.

It is certainly a favorite show of mine as of late, and I do hope we see a second season.

I've been very happy with it, The Ark has been a pleasant surprise after years of sloppy sci-fi. Feels like a throwback from 15-20 years ago with taut plotting and an ensemble which meshes nicely together.

Renewed

For a cheap sci-fi show, it's actually not bad and I have enjoyed it too. It's an interesting premise.

The final episode of the season was pretty good and technically, this is a spoiler but folks probably assumed that a show with a spaceship called Ark 1 might figure out how to keep the action focused on what is going on in a ship vs a planet in future episodes (however, the goal of the Arks in the series were to colonize a planet), and that is exactly what happens in the final episode.

I assume that at the earliest we will get a new season sometime in 2024.

I started watching this show a week ago, and thought it was almost cringeworthy how a new catastrophic problem pops up right after one is solved. But, damn, it really drew me in and I flew threw the whole season quickly. I like the cast for the most part and they seem to have good chemistry. I'll definitely be watching again next season.

Definitely a successful first season. They weren't winging it, felt like the entire first season was plotted out in advance with room for character development.

Simulcast on Peacock?

randian, I hope so...that is how I watched the show (I almost forgot it was a show that aired on the SyFy channel), and I also need to catch up on the news for this show in the hopes that there have been no major cast changes.

There were cast interviews and behind the scenes bits that I was able to check-out on-line after each show, and I hope we continue to get that with this season. I really am looking forward to this show coming back soon.
