Just finished watching the first three episodes. It actually takes place mostly in England/France which is an interesting twist as the original movie was in the United States. It definitely carries the science in the sci-fi. I won’t reveal how people die but the creators spent a lot of time thinking about it.
Keys to good sci-fi
Keep the main characters in the dark.
Let the audience see the main characters learning.
Keep the enemy a very slow reveal.
This isn’t for everyone. The plot pace is literally walking.The special effects are ok. Many things are heard or barely seen. Think The Thing. Or Predator with way less special effects.
Interestingly enough, I found the older ex-couple most compelling. Also, the plot thread leading up to the special forces and the grocery store was very good.
