Has anyone else seen this? It was on HBO Max last year and was more recently released on Netflix.

It tells the story of a group of survivors stranded on an alien planet after having to abandon their ship in orbit.

I have to say, I have just finished it, and it has absolutely blown me away.

If you're a fan of sci-fi, this is an absolute must, especially if you enjoy books like Hyperion. It offers a similar Hyperion-esque vibe with a richly designed world and an eerie yet fascinating atmosphere.

It's got an absolutely hauntingly brilliant soundtrack as well.

It's not an action-packed pew-pew explosion fest; it's more of a sci-fi fantasy focusing on atmosphere, world-building, and an element of horror. In that respect, it's quite niche, but it ticked all the boxes for me!

Here is the trailer, which I didn't watch as I went in totally blind. I'd advise you do the same if you are at all interested, but just in case you need a sweetener:

I wouldn't be too disappointed if there wasn't another season. For me, it was good enough in isolation, and I wouldn't want another series to dilute that - I'd happily be proven wrong though!
