Review of Beacon 23

Beacon 23 (2023– )
6/10
Good setting, bad story telling
20 November 2023
This show is very appealing at first glance. A lighthouse in space. Very interesting concept. So many ideas flood my mind. I can't wait to meet/learn about the characters that will guide me into this world.

But there's a problem. EVERYTHING in this world(universe, i guess) is a black box mystery. The reason for a lighthouse in space, the characters and their motivations, the quest, the rocks(talisman). You end up asking yourself what is going on half the time. Why do I care for these people, who's the hero? Who's the villain? Why are they doing all this. Even glowing rocks have a mysterious purpose. I guess if you like knowing nearly nothing after 3 episodes. This is your type of show.

I'll try and revisit this show after the first season is complete. Black box story telling isn't interesting if everything is a black box.
