I watched episode 4 of the First last night on catch-up.
Its the series about a Mars Mission with Sean Penn.
Trouble is there's no Mars in it yet. Its all about the human build-up to launch day a year off.
The relationships are very interesting especially the troubled Colonel and the grieving Mission Controller. The British Project Leader is a bit annoying though, although I love her holographic display in the garden.
The musical score is excellent too.
At the current rate of human interaction i doubt we'll see a Mars lunch until the final episode.
Is anyone else watching the First or maybe you've seen it already?
just as I suspected Woodsy, its all about the bleak human drama. Saves on the sfx budget. Promises much and delivers less, very much like mars itself, it has no atmosphere! Typical current 'scifi' tv series, you won't see mars till the last ten minutes of the final episode, I guarantee it!
