Watched the first installment last night. Agatha Christie mystery on a space mission. Brought up some interesting perspectives on long term (meaning 100s of years) space travel. What happens psychologically to the generations that are born in space and have never seen earth and will never see their goal, the planet they are going to? And since they left space during the time of records and books, how did their science evolve?
Ending of the first part (of 3) had a strange twist.

Saw the 1st episode "twist" coming a mile away. Very interesting premise, but what we're left with at the end of the 3rd night is Mad Men in a can, with some extraneous intrigue.
I can't imagine the inevitable series lasting long.
