About

"Space horror that overreaches and underdelivers"

A crew of scientists and specialists boards a mysterious spaceship on a voyage to make contact with an alien intelligence that could save humanity's future. Along the way, secrets about the ship, its reclusive captain, and a powerful telepath aboard start to unravel, and the mission curdles into paranoia and violence. The tone leans hard into slow-burn sci-fi horror, heavy on atmosphere and dread over jump scares. Pace is deliberate, sometimes sluggish, and the show never quite balances its many mysteries before running out of room to answer them.

Watch it for

the eerie ship-in-peril atmosphere and a genuinely unsettling telepath subplot.

Maybe skip if

you need tight plotting and a satisfying resolution by the end.
