Synopsis

In 1963, the U.S. government launched a covert space mission sending hundreds of men, women and children on a century-long voyage aboard the starship Ascension to populate a new world. Nearly 50 years into the journey, as they approach the point of no return, a mysterious murder of a young woman causes the ship’s population to question the true nature of their mission.

steadmansmith It seems like there were two or three concepts cobbled together when they made this, with only three episodes it keeps taking twists, turns, and occasional cliche. With a final ending that will leave you with more questions than answers.
Benjamin Tharin This was one of the best scripts i've seen in a long time... the only reason why i didn't give it 10 stars is the wooden acting of some actors in the series but otherwise, the pacing and story of the whole thing was so well done and every twist hit me like a hammer, it was that good.I was reluctant watching this and it lingered on my list of netflix for far to long, and when i started watching it i couldn't stop anymore. I love deep and complex stories and this completely delivered it was very very cool.Such a shame that it doesnt get extended but what you have here is an absolute must watch, just don't read anything else from anyone, dont watch trailers, just try to watch the first episode in full. You won't be able to stop. It's a fantastic show and would deserve much more beyond what is here.
lectorabi Amassing series. Its an original idea witch really caught the viewers eye from the beginning. 100% recommended. It's a serious of situations that the viewer can't see coming until is to late.One of the best pisses of work I have seen this far. Only wishing it was longer or have another part.
Neos_back OK, this show is decent... but Im undecided.I like the people in the spaceship. I hate the people outside the spaceship.I've read reviews of people harping on about how great the story is etc.. but its merely adequate. They claim that research breakthroughs such as MRI's came from Ascension... but I have yet to see anyone doing any "inventing" - its all "politics" and "intruige". The concept is good, I like half the cast (the spaceship buddies) but other than that i.e. the people and story outside the ship... its laughably bad. For instance a consultant for a top secret military project trolling the internet for information... as if there wouldn't be secret military files on what happened, then going off to meet conspiracy nuts to get their information. The list goes on with not only the unrealistic portrayals but also also impracticality of half the story.Its a mixed bag, some people will like all of it... I prefer just the sci-fi stuff (I can forgive a lot provided its not in a "real world" setting).
