Synopsis

Seeking the chance to build a better future, a group of courageous pioneers departs Earth for Carpathia, a newly discovered planet in a distant galaxy. Led by President Richard Tate and his core team of Stella, Cass and Fleur, the pioneers settle in the town of Forthaven, creating a society there alongside expeditionaries Mitchell and Jack. Having embraced all the challenges that come with forging a new beginning, the townspeople work hard to preserve what they've built on Carpathia, and even as they long for those left behind, there is optimism about the future. But while they try to learn from mistakes made on Earth, there is no avoiding the human pitfalls of love, greed, lust and loss.

Jeanskynebu the audience applauded
GurlyIamBeach Instant Favorite.
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
Ibrahim al-Happeny It had some good things going for it. Good location, high production values, there might have even been a workable storyline buried in there somewhere. Unfortunately, burning a giant pile of money may have produced a better show.-Cliched into oblivion. -For some reason cut, polished diamonds float in the ocean. Also skeletons exposed to sea water can remain perfectly preserved for millennia. -Thinly veiled Christian bashing. It's getting old. -Completely unbelievable society. Apparently solar panels are enough to power all this future tech for 70,000 people, none of which ever breaks down or is torn apart in the giant electromagnetic storms that happen frequently. They must have nanomachines that can replicate anything because they seem to be completely self sufficient within their gates. -Completely blatant male bashing. Remember, penis = evil. -Their President is willing to order the wholesale slaughter of entire populations then is too much of a puss to follow through when they survive and are angry he tried to exterminate them. He also promotes power hungry, sociopathic cult leaders into positions of power (which is obvious and even he knows himself). -They completely missed an opportunity to give the bad guy a German accent. American accents (especially southern) are more those of the eccentric cowboy than the cartoonishly evil madman.-Karl Marx himself couldn't dream up a more communist little enclave. I'm genuinely surprised they didn't all call each other comrade and fly a red banner. -Lives are lost to gun violence because law abiding residents and even guards at first don't carry guns. This is satire right? Right? -The aliens mess with peoples heads then tell the leader of the human colony they're going to exterminate humanity when they could have just exterminated humanity and been done with it. The aliens are also highly justified in wanting to kill humans considering the humanity they have encountered this second time not only managed to destroy their own planet but are complete idiots. The acting didn't stand out as terrible to me but it lacked anything impressive. The production values were good and the locations were pretty awesome though. Could have been a great series.
marco-30-384328 I think it is a big loss to cancel this show so soon. It really had the chance to become an epic mystery-series like Lost but it failed. In my opinion the pilot was to weak. I found nothing exciting in the first one or two episodes and I only started to like the show after episode 3. The poor jokes of Cass at the beginning and some stupid dialogs ruined the first episodes. It got better throughout the series, but I think its destiny had already been sealed at the time the show got better. I was missing the typical "Superhero-Main-character" that "Daniel Mays" did not manage to bring into the show. He would have been a great side-character next to a (missing) Hero of the show. Cunningham as done a great job and Lucas, the "bad" guy has contributed well to the series. If you liked "Terra Nova" or "Lost", you will definitely like this show as well.
Josie Martine Why do they keep canceling good sci-fi shows? Oh that's right! We need more room for The Housewives of Whatever, and The 19 Year Old But I'm Tired of Playing the Field Bachelor and Who Hasn't Got any Talent But Desperately Needs Affirmation From Total Strangers reality show. (sigh) I am just going to buy all my favorite shows in DVD boxed sets, cancel cable, and hole up in my darkened living room till the aliens come. This was a really good series with a good story line, complex characters, good sub plots, lots of scheming and deception and actually really good acting. I just found this on Netflix and was convinced that it was too good to stay on the air, so I checked IMDb and low and behold.... Sure there were some holes, like how have they managed to establish such a sophisticated society in only 10 years? And how do they get hi-tech medical equipment? They can't possibly have the technology on site to build it. But OK, overlook the pesky details that really have no bearing on the overall story, and you've got a good show. Which is why it is no longer on. BLAST YOU VILE TV EXECUTIVES!
pensman Production values are pretty good for this series but it plods. The first six episodes really provide background exposition but even then it's not complete. Episode seven gets off on a tangent and episode eight doesn't really provide a conclusion as someone must have hoped there would be a second series but the series was canceled because of poor viewer ship. Eric Mabius is the epitome of unctuous and makes for a good villain. If you do decide to watch then you have to watch the first two episodes to get the basic background but when you get to the end and there is no real resolution there is a sense you have wasted eight hours.
