Santiago Cabrera, an actor I really started to appreciate thanks to Star Trek Picard!
He plays Dariusz Tanz, a sort of Elon Musk figure and who wants to develop a gravity tractor to pull the asteroid of course and save the Earth. Aided by a MIT student, Liam, he breaks the code for a gravity drive that would propel the machine towards the hurling boulder, but alas the series isn`t that simple.
The events set in motion a new Cold War, which unfortunatly starts to heat up as it turns out that the asteroid impact in Russia in 2013 was actually an american attack. This causes tensions to rise incredinly, and then a hacker collective, RE/SYST joins in the fray as well and tries to actually cause this war.
Add in a forceful coup on the White House by the vice-president, and one gets the idea how Noshi remarked "they kept adding to much extra arcs to the story"and that is indeed the feeling I share. While the premises is okay, it seems there are just to many sidestories piled up, distracting from the actual story of a global killer coming our way and how different factions deal with this.
I hope the second (and final) season will as such come over a bit less hotch-potch, but for now my opinion stands as "enjoyable, but not really wauw".
