Ascension (spoilers for 1st episode)

What a plot twist at the end of the first episode. For all of you that haven't seen it,in the 1960's a space mission was launched where a group of people were going on a 100 year journey through space to a different planet. 50 years later and a generation later we find out that it's all a massive fabrication and they are really in a building on Earth which simulates what space looks like. Big Brother in space!

I watched 20 mins of the opening episode & thought it was decidedly B rate & sacked it off. To be honest, it was a bit obvious, even without seeing the rest of the opening episode, that building something like that, at the period, was far-fetched. Might go back & watch the rest of the first episode, doubt it though.

Think it's been excellent so far - gutted it's only 3 episodes

I watched a little more than that before giving up. This is what TV programmes used to be like.
