First 2 seasons were very interesting with an alternative history at least based on historical events and using what might have been storylines. Ending of season 2 was gripping and with a moving storyline.
Then we get to season 3. Are you looking forward to seeing humans on Mars? Well we don't have much time for that as we have to fit in the gay president plot the gay astronaut plot the pregnant astronaut plot the drug addict astronaut the anti NASA extremist plot just to name a few. Any sense of reality with the space craft has also gone out of the window. Now you have North Koreans landing and living in what appears to be nothing bigger than a Soyuz capsule. We are concerned about the effects of micro gravity and radiation on your unborn baby so we are going to blast you into space on the top of a spacecraft! Series 4 has been given the go ahead apparently. Think I'll give it a miss.
