Dark Matter Season 1 Review – Firefly meets Battlestar Galactica?
At times Dark Matter looks ludicrously cheap. Colonies on alien worlds seem more like a city centre warehouse with a brown post-production filter, while an apparently advanced spaceship looks suspiciously like an industrial interior from modern day.
