For their horrible decisions to cancel quality adult science fiction. From there very first episode I can't think of a single BBC Science fiction show that was better than Outcasts. Usually BBC science fiction is campy children's fare. I was so happy watching this show and thinking finally some good sci-fi for grownups in the hands of BBC but they show themselves as short sighted and non interested in quality science fiction than any other corporate network.Top notch cinematography. Compelling characters. Perfect music. Superb acting that doesn't ham it up like many other science fiction shows aimed at children. Best BBC Science fiction to date!

Okay, we all love sci-fi adventure stories, otherwise we would not be watching this show. I happened upon this series on Netflix and right out the door, this series is a bit violent and portrays a lot of people as untrustworthy, even if they are trying to assist or help.But my biggest question is, why are are 100% of the older men (mainly) up in space and the young people (under 35) on the planet? I'm a lover of the Stargate SG-1 series, love it with all my heart.This series has A LOT of potential, but WHERE is the futurist things and such. IF we are doing space travel, we have not learned how to communicate planet wide? But the 'hate' of so many make the future look like a place I NEVER want to go.I'm on episode 3 and I think I may end my viewing here. I can not connect to any of the characters, even though they have a range of characters. Where is the computer geek (or geeks)? A doctor is not a computer geek nor a video games player. The tone is just too serious all the time. Also, when visiting planets like Earth, why no new plant or insects or animals? Not everything HAS to be a green, slimy, brain sucking alien. Just look at the Tribbles on Star Trek.I think I am ready to return to Mass Effect 2. Shame Being Human is FAR MORE appealing than this show. But then again, if you like Battlestar Galactica, you might like it.

I am glad to here that season two is in the works. Can't wait to see what happens next. Julia Hansen avid science fiction fan! We Americans are quite diverse in what we like to watch. I like the complexity of the relationships and the secrets that are coming out of the original few that were sent, as well as the intrigue of the others who were sent in the distant past. Why were more sent if those were killed off, so many questions. I've seen the earth moving as if something were being birthed from underneath, what's that? Why are the copies able to stay, what is so different about them, why are they having babies so fast? I think having an opposing force like Jim just stirs things up a little.

The show is about a colony on Carpatia after it became impossible to live on Earth. There are many scifi shows like this and yet theidea was interesting and I found the pilot very promising.Unfortunately Jamie Bamber and his character couldn't help it anymore after he was killed off. Right after the pilot it went down into a slow show with unlikable characters, poor acting and bad writing. I kept on seeing ideas that I felt would make an improvement, but unfortunately nothing was happening. The acting was mediocre, I only want to keep Liam Cunningham out of it who did a good job throughout the show. The rest, especially Jeanne Kietzmann, were disappointing most of the time.Toward the very end the show seemed to pick up, and the 7th episode was the one that I was actually watching with real interest. Unfortunately it was too late. Would it become better if the show wasn't cancelled? Who knows. But the finale wasn't one of those that would keep me waiting eagerly for a new season to begin, so it is safe to assume that it would be just the same.
