Review of Ascension

Ascension (2014)
4/10
I wanted to like it, but...
16 January 2015
Warning: Spoilers
Watching the first episode I found the plot a little boring and the characters bland, but by the end of the episode the unexpected twist kept me watching.

I kept going and ignored all the unanswered questions related to the plot and advanced technology. The plot started to get better, but it only lead to more unanswered questions. They spent to much time on pointless relationship and detective plots to explain what was going on.

By the end of the third part I felt let down. If this was a guaranteed to continue show I could understand the cliffhanger ending, but as it stands the future of the show is undetermined. So if Syfy don't turn it into a real show, then they have wasted all our time with the cliffhanger ending and many, many unanswered questions. Would it be to much to ask for 5mins at the end of part 3 for a scientist to even make something up as to how that happened?..

If they do continue the show and answer some of the questions I will keep watching, but as a mini series its lacking a lot.
