I am all for this kind of stuff - going into space, colonization, living among the stars and I hope to witness this when it happens. But I am very much on the fence with this show. maybe my expectations were too high. The concept of the show is good as is the execution. The documentary parts are very informative and insightful. Then there is the scripted part that is all about dramatization. And most of it is due to illogical decisons of the characters. The science isn´t waterproof and I felt there are a lot of plot holes. One thing this shows, and I´m not sure if intentional or by accident, is that humans will stay humans. They take their structures and hierachies with them no matter where they go.

Great show, really atmospheric and factual as well. Its kind of a Docu-Drama with a sprinkling of suspense in there. The music is really good too, really adds to the experience.

I was really impressed with this show. I really like how they switched back and forth between the drama of being on Mars in the future with documentary elements in the present. It sort of set up why they were doing the things they were doing on Mars. They really showed you how it's not just technology that is needed to get there but humans that are able to withstand the long trip and the complete isolation of a new planet. While I wish there were more episodes, I think 6 was probably perfect to push the story along at a quick, but manageable pace. I wonder if there is going to be a season 2 but if not, I really enjoyed the show while it lasted. If anything, it has made me wonder what other shows National Geographic is making. Highly recommended.

Entertaining at points but essentially thinly veiled propaganda. Climatistas and anti-corporate sentiments combined with a healthy amount of deceptive facts designed to instill a sense of doom. They poured it on a little thick for me. To each their own and it is entertaining but don't buy into too much of it. Try fact checking any of the 'documentary' aspects, they are very misleading.

Fast-forwarding makes this dreck semi-tolerable. What do viewers most want to see in a series called "Mars"? How about Mars? They spend very little time outside exploring and most of the time ensconced indoors acting out their soap operas. The last episode (is it a spoiler if it has already aire More
