In episode 6 (cannibal nuns attack!) i switched it off. The actors show an acceptable to convincing performance in the beginning, but later seem to struggle with the meandering and degrading script.Īnyway, starting with episode 4 (flesh-filled alien probe!) or 5 (Roy's mother living in the ships computer!) this show was losing me. With each episode the plot feels more negligent, improvised, hollow and B-picturesque.Īt no point i felt connected to any of the involved characters, but i don't think this is the actors fault. The first 2 or so episodes promise a coherent and dense sinister story line, and although here the script already reveals a couple of obvious blunders, the show starts relatively strong.īut then the narrative quickly deteriorates, and evolves into a sequence of mostly unconnected random events like a soap opera, like some kind of Star Trek with dark tint.
The music and the visual appearance like camera, post and the largely consistent design do the best they can do to glue the series together.īut drops of glue cannot prevent this thing from falling apart.
Jeff Buhler wrote the adaptation for television and was the showrunner and executive producer, alongside Martin, Gene Klein, David. The dark synthwave soundtrack by Will Bates is not exactly exceptional, but well-crafted, it can actually stand for itself. Nightflyers was produced by UCP and co-produced by Netflix. That does not look bad in the first place. The sci-fi setting resembles "Event Horizon", mixed with some elements from "1899".
