I find most science fiction completely hopeless, especially the big budget series and films. I didn't have high expectations for The Ark, but I was hoping it would keep my interest. It did that much, to the extent that I watched all of season 1; however, the weaknesses are too much for me to be willing to watch any more. The plot development was adequate and the acting tolerable ( except Trust). The problem was the ridiculous science. I understand that we have to put up with some fake science. The problem was that so much plot movement depended on fictional science which was obviously made up on the spot in order to make something happen. The last episode was a prime example of this. An entire planet exploded within seconds of the dark side being exposed to sunlight. Come on!! Lost in Space had similar random science nonsense which is why I couldn't watch that either.
For me this series was rather similar to Another Life , but that series had better world building. I can't recommend this series to anyone.
