Beacon 22 is an original idea, I'll give it that.

A light house in outer space, where nothing is what it seems. Mixing mystery/thriller and sci fi action adventure it "sort of", works.

Perhaps its biggest shortcoming, is it seems a little incoherent. Things happen but they don't tie together terribly well. This leaves the story feeling cluttered, for no reason that appears to make much sense.

Also, some of the back story elements, seem incongruous. Why for example, would futuristic, high tech space beacon need a metal rod inserted into gears to get the light working correctly? Weird and oxymoron-ic, to say the least.

Maybe, for whatever reason, that's how things are, in outer space? In any case I will reserve being too judgemental, as we are only two episodes in, at the time this was written.

Sets are decent, acting is reasonable and CGI is mostly, well done.

In summary, promising. I do hope the back story becomes more coherent, as the series progresses.For now, worth a look.
