Why does it look good? That IMDB page doesn't seem to have any positive comments about it.

Well I *hope* it's good. Unlike Interstellar which was quite a disappointment due to excessive Stupid.

Maybe it will be worth it in the end, when the gag reel comes out.

Well I can't guarantee that you will like it, has a lot of flaws like how they have artificial gravity etc, and about interstellar I have to agree with you, I hated star trek into the darkness...

I have watched the first three episodes and it is incredibly dumb.  Apparently there are no physicists, mathematicians, or engineers on the "ship" to question artificial gravity.  Then it gets supernatural.

It got supernatural because that is what the experiment was suppose to do. 

I think in episode two, it mentioned the guy's father predicting that in the 3rd generation child born on the ship, they would start to display supernatural powers, like telekinesis and stuff.  His father was right on the theory.

Apparently, besides seeing the dead, manipulating electrons in mid air, and turning things on and off, the young girl seems to be what the next few episodes will be about.
