Review of The Ark

The Ark (2023– )
6/10
If the 80s/90s did a serial sci-fi drama
19 March 2023
I keep watching this. It's not that bad once it gets going....but it's not some genre changing paragon of sci-fi.

The more I watch it, it has hit me that it has an 80's show vibe. More or less a catastrophe of the week, silly premises, a nod to science existing.

And to throw in some 90s TV - all of the cast are eye candy, mostly under 30, with some stupid interpersonal dramas and acting that ranges from ok to "you'll regret this when your famous"

The FX aren't that bad overall. There have been a few "oh honey, you tried" moments, but they are watchable.

I would like to see this go a couple of seasons just to see where they take it. It would be interesting to see them make it to whatever colony plantet they are going to and completely transform the show into a survival and starting over on a new planet...I just fear it would go very deep down the route of inter-personal drama issues.
