MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting

GazerRise Fantastic!

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

diegomfranc A dreadfull adaptation of a sci fi classic novel plagued with cheap tv melodrama, lobotomized and not even close to the spirit of the original story. If you did not read the novel and want to watch this, be warned that the actual book is noting like this, and if you have read the novel, don't expect this to make justice.

espinaeditorials The first episode was fantastic, it's the hook that gets you to watch the other two which aren't as strong. The first episode answers a lot of questions people have wondered about space and our own humanity- this show goes about it in a very good way similar to the book. In parts 2 and 3 you can start to feel the stretching of the story as some plot lines and arcs could have been deleted. Overall the message is what is key and the overall feeling of watching the series can, for some be very uneasy.

J M A good effort, but there are so many faulty premises. First of all, if the overlords were intent on eventually destroying mankind why did they waste time "making the world perfect" for them?. Second, why was the Earth itself destroyed-- There was nothing to blame the Earth itself for mankind's failure, right? Why didn't they simply kill off the older (in their view contaminated) generation? What they did is like arresting the DWI driver and impounding and scrapping the Lamborghini he was driving.

mauro volvox ...transformed into a mind numbing series of epic proportions!What a mess, what a train wreck of a TV series!To start with, Clarke's book is one of those overrated books. I never understood why so much fuss about it. The book starts with a bang and then fizzles slowly up to one of the most anti-climatic endings in Scifi history, it is meandering story with some stupid things thrown into the story (e.g. the Ouija board).The series, on the other hand is simply tedious, boring with as little scifi as possible. It is too talky, too focused on interpersonal relationships, on the "human side" of things and all that usual blablabla about uninteresting humans and their uninteresting lives.Watching it is the equivalent of a very very heavy Thanksgiving meal followed by your Uncle Bob and the slide show of his latest vacation in Cleveland, Ohio.One episode of Childhood's End is a perfect cure for insomnia, three of them is a life-threatening central nervous system depressant.
