Class struggle! Power politics! Strong women have sex (in order to further their husbands' careers)!
The dialogue is really over-dramatic and unrealistic with "mustn'ts" and such. Only a few actors move beyond the level of "CW teen drama", with Brad Carter and Ellie O'Brien being the standouts. The constant sex and nudity is clearly an attempt to be seen as "edgy" and to boost ratings. Christa and her powers are never fully explained, nor is the bomb in the seed silos. The former is clearly meant as a carrot-on-a- stick to get a second series, but the latter is just lazy. After 100 years on the ship, what was going to happen to the colonists? Would they just be let out and told "Sorry we lied to you?"
