Oh good gracious, I really don't know what happened here.

The concept is great. I've never been the type that hates on religion, unlike most atheists, I can see the historical value of it and how it lends itself to developing civilization, culture, all the things we take for granted... however, YES, I am down with the idea of religious extremists as the bad guys in a science fiction show. That seems like a great concept with a lot of content to explore.

And, honestly, I loved the idea of humans being raised by robots, as an endangered species, with that clashing with the fundamental religious nut jobs.

That seems like a FANTASTIC idea for a science fiction show, and the first episode alone you see the acting is simply phenomenal. The androids even behave a little like Alexis... "Would you like to hear a joke?"

You would think this is going to be an epic sci-fi show.

And then THEY DID NOTHING WITH IT!!!! Like literally nothing. Nothing at all.

The concept is so ripe it's almost bursting with material the writers can play with... and they don't. No exploration whatsoever, just one event after another that is void of any philosophical statements, any exploration of what could happen.

It's just events and nothing deeper. And the worst part about it is the concept was open for something fun and imaginative to happen.

This wasn't really what I was expecting. It just didn't feel like a Ridley Scott offering to me. The first season, the only one I managed to sit through, seemed very drawn out, a little confused and pretty much void of any real depth. Or maybe I'm just bitter because I wanted aliens.

You've reached the end.
