I’m enjoying it like I enjoyed Black Mirror. Science fiction is very hard to worldbuild right, so often the science minded audience has to turn a blind eye to a few things and think in terms of metaphors.

Humanity traveling faster than light? Check. Woman using stupid bras? Check. Radar that maps entire cave? Check. It doesn’t flag a creature 5m ahead? Check.

For many, these details are unbearable plot holes. Watching science fiction require you to be able to skip these and focus on the story (girl in love, sucking at survival sim).
