S2 isn't on Netflix here yet, will give it a go when it arrives but not holding my breath in anticipation.
Just need to mix up the characters a bit (wet behinds the ears pretty boy lead guy *yawn*, Duke Nukem army guy *yawn*, feisty female tech *yawn*) and get some better actors involved. And some better script writers so the dialogue isn't so cliche.
The back story about the Earth/Mars/Belt, the politics and societal stuff is very good...and it's nice to finally see space ships on screen that obey the laws of physics.
Hmm, little harsh. Lead character is meant to be a wet behind the ears pretty boy stereotype. It's his meddling, trying to do the right thing, that keeps making things go from bad to worse.
Duke Nukem character, Amos isn't your regular hard nut army guy. If anything he's one of the most interesting characters on the show (in the books too). A psychopath who wants to be nice but has absolutely no moral compass. So surrounds himself with people he thinks are decent.
Naomi in the show is a little grating and not sure actress that great. Maybe she improves in series 2? Her character has a pretty good arc in the books so hope she can pull it off. In the first season (especially the first 5 episodes) she just comes across as a *****.
Show and actors still finding it's feet. People can be a little too fickle these days. Star Trek tng wouldn't have lasted more than half a season if it came out today.
