Dark matter season 1

This is the series which I hopped onto when I had the inkling for a sci fi series. There is a scarcity of good science fiction nowadays . Nope the superhero series don't count

Looks like I missed it when it aired in 2015 and the only familiar face is Roger cross from continuum.

My opinion

After finishing the thirteen episodes of the first season I can safely conclude that this is a solid  series

There was never a dull moment in the entire 13 episodes kudos to the writers who made it as engaging as possible. The fact that the primary characters still call themselves by a number which they gave themselves when they woke up with their memories erased at the start was interesting. They continued to follow the same even after they learn of their real identities. It gets the question whether sometime in the future humans will have a service to erase their memories to escape a traumatic past or guilt. This would be the real pursuit of happiness. Imagine every day is a new day  wouldn't that be exciting


One has a past of Fortune and tragedy which he is trying to piece together

Two is a criminal with a bio mod which her almost invulnerable to anything

Three is a journeyman criminal who seems to be the only one who behaves the same way before losing his memory I.e he doesn't have any emotional baggage

Four is royalty and is the first one to learn his past and act on it

Five is the free loader to the criminal spaceship

Six is the man with morals which is contrary to his criminal past

Despite it's very thin budget , the special effect in this series is a joke ,the selling point is the manner in which they maintain intrigue in every episode by adding layers to each character

Somehow they make the audience invest in their stories and would like to unfold the story along with them

The acting is good and there was no moment where I had to facepalm which is impressive for a cast which I haven't seen anywhere else
