Plot: An expert in astrophysics sheds light on the topic of dark matter which has been one of the primary mysteries in modern physics.
Season 1 of Dark Matter was Very Good.
Pros: I like how it exports the multiverse in exciting ways and also with theme of regret. I was drawn towards the drama and the unpredictability of this series. Joel Edgerton, Jennifer Connelly & Alice Braga did a great job in their roles. I give credit to the pacing and how the series took it’s time telling it’s story and the surprises it setup for future storyline for season 2 in the finale.
Cons: I didn’t like the colour palette was so dark and blurry to see at times & Dayo Okeniyi’s character didn’t add a lot to the storyline in my opinion.
