Dark Matter (2024) (Scifi, Apple TV+) (Page 2 of 2)

1x9 Entanglement - Predictable, and played out how I'd assume it would go, and didn't do much to subvert my expectations.  Oddly, the Premiere and Finale episodes were the weakest of the season for me.  This episode proved that box travel is still a necessary hook to engage an audience in this story, as Jason and Daniella are kinda boring without it.

You'd think real Jason and Daniella would've had longer more frantic conversations about what each other went through while they were apart instead of so much B roll of them driving.  I would've used the drive as an opportunity for exposition, to flesh out where they were at with each other.  Perhaps fear and anxiety, and not talking about it, are more likely in that situation, but it is a show, and I'd want a better conversation then what we got.

Also, the hook of the show is travelling through the box, and that didn't happen til the end, so the episode just didn't interest me.  Enjoyed the infinite regress of Jasons, even though I called that in episode 7.

Evil Jason having a change of heart, vowing to set things right, ended the show on an upbeat, which was refreshing.

Would love a season 2.
