This show has had some very uneasy slow boring predictable moments that I have truly despised. The pilot was fantastic, I loved it, and it completely caught and held my attention. Then the twists and turns have kept me guessing and on the edge of my seat. If you like the "cowboy-scifi" genre made popular by Firefly and you're prepared for the uneasy slow boring predictable episodes, you will be rewarded with something new and different. I still do not know who the heroes are after 1½ seasons.

This show appealed to me until I dropped off in the Second season. it had the makings of a fine Sci Fi series. although it was very dark and violent at times. I always look for something more uplifting and positive in my Choices.

The show is fun, daring and a fresh new sci-fi that follows some of the best series out there. Yes some aspects are predictable but overall the show is engaging. Season 2 so far is even better than 1st one. Gets better every episode
