And indeed it is a brilliant one at that. Some viewers defined also as a horror series, but I would tend to disagree.
It is more a psychological thriller rather than that.
I won't reveal its secrets behind the story, but suffice it to say that it hints to two different universes intersecting with each other.
Remember the series "Fringe"? Well, not quite but as I said something tells me that this is the case here.
Naturally, in that series everyone knew at some point of the the twin universe, while here it seems to be a well kept secret and not even the principal character (a Swedish cosmonaut working for ESA) knows what is happening to her.
She doesn't because she assumes that where she is, when she landed back, is her own familiar Earth, although some major differences appear to her and she is slowly getting confused and alarmed.
What ensues then, is her trying to recapture to her so far: from her mission aboard the I. S. S. To her actual landing, but the more she tries and the more things get entangled.
This is not a lightweight series, meaning that it is not your popcorn and beer series. This one at last, has been conceived as a thinking man story and only reveals its true nature drop by drop, in such a way as not to reveal too much, but enough to keep you guessing what happens next.
Of course there are twists in the story and they are all mastered with great efficiency.
As a mystery thriller I would compare it in quality to the former Swedish series "Millennium", in which Noomi Rapace had a prominent role indeed. The only difference is that instead of having to deal with criminals, here the dimension is much vaster and encompasses space missions gone wrong.
How wrong and why remains still to be revealed, and that's the true beauty of this series.
Many cover-ups to come. That's for sure...
