Finished Night Flyers - 5/10
It starts OK then quality/writing drops off a cliff somewhere near the 2/3 mark.
It has a lot of "We're going to create a threat and literally find a solution 2 minutes later" situations.
In the end it just fizzles out. Some of the big questions raised at the start are never answered - the show just seems to lose interest/forget about them.
The priorities and goals of the various central characters seem to change on an episode by episode basis.
The characters react extremely inappropriately to many situations. This is explained by either a) the big space alien or b) crap writing, depending on your level of cynicism
One episode stood out to me as being just plain awful. My person favourite nonsense moment was this little gem: "We ran out of food and had to devise a sustainable method for making more food. We decided to grow humans for food."
Like seriously, who came up with that genius idea? And what were they smoking? Hopefully the flaw in that plan is obvious, but just in case... what are you going to feed the humans you grow for food and why don't you just eat that instead? I can only imagine the intern wrote that episode, it was awful.
