A reworked matrix/twlight zone theme that could have been done much better in 2 or 3 hours, not 8. Positive notes: the acting was generally good, although there was quite a bit of two dimensionality in several of the characters. The initial set up was close enough to being historically accurate that it gets a pass (For example, the first time an onboard wireless telegraph was ever used in a ship was in 1899, and you could justify the one used here by saying this was a very, very advanced Marconi). The story build up was steady, albeit slow, in the first few episodes. Negative notes: The lighting was too dark; I understand this makes the CGI easier to hide, but it was too much. The unpredictable became far too predictable - you knew Alice would head down yet another rabbit hole, and you could almost time it. Far too much nothing time; I normally don't nod off watching television, but this required extra effort to stay awake. Cut the watch time down by 65% and this might even be a 7.5 rating.
