Storyline

- TriviaThe lighthouse picture they often look at when by the beacon is a real picture. It's a picture of the La Jument lighthouse, west from Bretagne, France. It was taken in 1989 by photographer Jean Guichart and the man on the picture is former lighthouse keeper Theodore Malgorne. He had come outside because he'd heard the helicopter hovering nearby, but was well aware he should not venture far from the lighthouse entrance, and went swiftly inside as soon as he realised the wave was coming in.
Featured review
It's a slow start, but it's worth it
At least so far. Five episodes in, I'm more than ready to forgive the first episode, which was not even a little bit of a mess. Maybe the in medias res attitude was necessary -- and looking back, even warranted -- but it sure did not make it easy to get hooked.
The show gets its footing by episode 3, and is not quickly becoming a very low-key but high-concept thing. And it's not even cheating, as a scifi mystery show does not need huge set pieces, just something to make you think about things.
The well-contained setting of an interstellar lighthouse might seem dire or uninteresting, but the characters here, their stories and their choices make this thing worth the while.
My suggestion: keep watching (survive EP1, I guarantee things get better as soon as EP2) at least until EP5, if you're still not convinced, then OK, this show is not for you. As for me, I'm hooked.
