I was tempted to rate this a 5, but in all honesty the series started off slowly and it took me several episodes to warm up to the characters. This was perhaps intentional on the writers' parts, since the six crew members of the spaceship Raza wake from stasis with their memories wiped clean. They know nothing about themselves, so at first their personalities aren't very differentiated; no one immediately stands out or engages audience sympathy or dislike. The exception is Zoie Palmer as the android, seventh member of the crew, whose appearance and demeanor bear more than a passing resemblance to Star Trek: Voyager's Seven of Nine. (Maybe this is why she is always called The Android, not Seven? The human crew calls themselves One, Two, Three, etc, since they don't recall their names). The show is a bit of Star Trek: Voyager mixed with Joss Whedon's Firefly. The good news is that if you like those shows, you will like Dark Matter if you stick with it. Each episode gets better until Season One ends with a bang. Yes, there is a Season 2, and I expect it will rate the full 5 stars.Read full review

Not a bad sf series, kind of a Firefly ripoff, but interesting so far, haven't finished it yet.

Everyone knows Dark Matter is incredibly well written and performed. I want that ship! It is so well done I just marvel at it. We have watched it many times.

To me Dark Matter was an excellent movie. The movie was a very good value, extremely very entertaining, with all the characters engaging. If they come out with Dark Matter 2 you can count on me to purchase it.

From producer of "Lost Girl", Jay Firestone and the writers of "StarGate SG-1" Joseph Mallozzi and Paul Mullie comes a great adventure into outerspace. The cast is top-notch and the stories will keep you glued to the telly.
