What an excruciatingly painful TV series; it's melodrama, not sci-fi

Show?
This first season is 2 episodes of what you came to see, and 6 of something else. I should say I feel like it could have been 3 episodes shorter, but overall even though it was a bit slow at times, it's still a show I would recommend... If you didn't see too much of the marketing material and aren't hyped about seeing "a series about going to mars", but rather just see it as a story about human struggle (in multiple ways), then this is a pretty good show. [spoiler]The first and last episodes are good. I mean "crying from excitement/dreading a future without this/wanting this for humanity/loss" good. Maybe I'm just a sucker for tales about human exploration, especially with the space part in it, but I really liked them. I feel like you could maybe make a 3-episode edit with E01, E08 and some cuts about the MAV fuckups/various political stuff and it would make a great tale about a possible future for humanity. The family relationship drama doesn't ruin it _per se_, but it definitely disappoints expectations you might have going into it. [/spoiler]

Loved this show. Beautiful cinematography that is on experimental side, and haunting soundtrack to match it. The story is slow, but purposeful, and focuses on human struggle. A very believable portrayal of near future. I think they missed with marketing, trying to catch a greater audience, hence the lower ratings. I hope they don't cancel this show because of it, because it is one of the most unique out there. The First will forever be one of my favourites.

I am so sorry this show isn't getting the love it deserves. Powerful acting, character driven plot, set in the not too distant future. Loving the setting, smart devices and believable technology. The music is amazing... and I am enjoying the story. Slow boil admittedly... but I like that it is taking the time necessary to develop its characters. Easy to root for the protagonist in any series... but I am 3 shows in and I actually care about most of these folks. Worried with ratings this low it won't have the staying power to really develop and come into its own. If you came for sci fi adventure... I think it will come... but the beauty of this show is in its human drama and characters. Please, please, please Hulu ignore the ratings and bring us more!

I was disappointed at first. Then it blew me away!

Possibly the worst marketing for a tv show ever. [spoiler]In the first season we won't follow a crew's journey to Mars like everyone thought, but we will instead see people preparing to go there. Their struggles, problems and everything i More
