Man of Honour
This looks interesting, just a teaser for now but have added to my app to check out in October!
Reminder that this is out in a couple of days. There is a final trailer out too:
Foundation is an Apple TV exclusive and rather good too. This is an exclusive yeah.
First 3 episodes were excellent I thought. Keeps you guessing as to wtf is going on. Pacing seems decent as character stories around the world are developed in the first few eps.
This and Foundation are keeping my sci-fi buzz strong currently.

Mosquito Coast trailer got me interested, added nice one!
Some thought the same about Foundation and Dune too but others Inc myself thought they were great.
There's still time, still some time!
As slow as it is to build up to /anything/ I'm still enjoying things unfold. It's pretty clear what they are doing with the slowness though and that the characters shown from around the world are not just random stories. Their roles are coming together as we have now started to see so I'm intrigued as to how their roles combine and for what purpose.
The peeps at JASA it's pretty obvious but the rest I'm not so sure about so will keep watching.
Also interested to find out why some kids are affected and the rest aren't. What kind of connection do they have to the aliens...

In agreement with that tbh, not often do I agree with verge
And this top comment is spot on.
I think it's one of those shows you have to completely wipe away the standard expectation of what SciFi and alien invasion genre is typically in the mainstream eye.

We don't know the kid's purpose yet, but it's clear he has some kind of condition that allows him to see the future or projections of the future since the aliens have been around. It may well be that the bit mother ship has been in the solar system for a very long time and only sent that sentry ship down to Earth to begin the initial process of changing Earth for their needs. In standard astronomy we currently cannot see everything that sits in our own solar system so in this story it would be feasible that the mother ship sat in a blind area that telescopes etc could not spot.
It was the sentry ship that contacted with the Hoshi which they nuked and it was after that which the mother ship decided to come closer and take matters into its own hands. We also see that the JASA people are saying the voice of the astronaut is synthetic so it appears the aliens know our language and are trying to fool ground control into thinking the people in space are still alive - Or maybe they are figuring the language out and using synthesised speech to start a line of communication. Too may questions so far with few answers.
The nuking of the sentry ship caused the aliens on Earth to drop dead so it's clear the aliens that landed were not biological but robotic in nature although their idea of robotic is very different to ours. Biological programming?
Also the sound waves are interesting. Over the last few years many instances of research and alternative thinking in how the fundamental aspects of the universe work are tied to sound frequency and vibrations, like how bridges have to match a certain resonant frequency and stuff like that. Sound and vibration forms a key backbone in everything in the universe.

I think shows like this are more interesting if the viewer has even a small amount of understanding of these real world ideas about the universe as it keeps thoughts curious in a way.
