SyFy has become synonymous with cheesy shows with terrible acting and bad plots that get canceled almost as fast as they got aired - so getting invested in any SyFy show almost always ends in disappointment. This show is no different. The trailer is more entertaining than the show. Basically they are the "science fiction" version of the CW.

Just look at their show history, especially for the past 7 years, almost every show is a one-season show that gets canceled.


I think this is one of the biggest problems with just four companies owning every single form of entertainment we watch and every cable channel out there - the small networks like SyFy just become a dumping ground for garbage shows rather than an incubator for interesting entertainment that they once were when they were independent. Once NBC got their hands on SyFy it became another NBC niche network garbage dump.

There have been a few notable exceptions, and the only reason SyFy ever had any real clout: the Stargate franchise and Battlestar Galactica. They have one truly outstanding show, The Expanse, that of course got canceled after season 3 and had to be picked up by Amazon to really unleash its full potential of being outstanding science fiction. The vast majority of the shows that stick around, including their current gem Resident Alien, start to get super cheesy by the third season - look no further than Eureka or Warehouse 13 to see how cute shows turn into some of the dumbest stuff on TV after season 3.
