MGM made a wise decision in hiring Lena Heady and the set designers for the space lighthouse, as the premise of the show is intriguing. The isolation of being in the middle of space, similar to a lighthouse keeper's assignment, can lead to mental instability, especially when combined with the lack of trust towards a new team member. The addition of alien rocks adds to the excitement of the series. However, the lack of continuity in Lena Heady's hair and uniform changes from scene to scene is a major flaw. The inconsistency in the uniform's design and Heady's hairstyle is a clear oversight by the hair and costume department. Additionally, the concept of future medicines being called "prints" requires them to be printed every time, but the show forgets this detail, leading to a lack of continuity. Furthermore, Lena Heady's English accent is inconsistent, which may not be a significant issue, but it is still a flaw. Lastly, the show blatantly ignores Stephen James' character being stabbed, which is a significant plot hole. MGM's decision to release the first episode on Amazon Prime to attract new viewers is not a good move, given the show's flaws.
