US: Ascension

I can't get into a single show from this new iteration of the "Syfy channel" despite being a Sci-fi fan and unfortunately this is no different. They're all just so predictable and cliché, all have terrible actors and casting, forced in your face tension where there isn't any etc etc. This, Helix, Defiance, Z-Nation some of the most disappointing shows in recent years now they're set to ruin 12 Monkeys too!
 
Not sure why its on sci-fi channel, this is just basic drama which appears to be scifi with no special effects.

Its sad to see these new crop of scifi shows which are just dramas, really do miss stargate and startrek but don't think we will ever see series as good as those the budgets were few million per episode :(
 
Glad its only 3 episodes :)

Tricia Helfer made it watchable but they should have made it an adult show it could have had plenty of hottness in the show but it looks like scifi channel had to tame and reduce or cut it all out.
 
No idea what exactly happen towards the end but some nice cast and story, glad its over and yes a full series would have never worked.
 
Bad idea, well executed.

I'd guessed the "plot twist" from about 10 mins into the first episode. It was really, really blatant. Probably everyone saw it coming miles before the end. Unless you were asleep.

Also: plot holes. A whole container ship full of them.
