Reply to comment by 79215185-1feb-44c6 in The Ark is embarrassing! by opiate_lifer

I think the reason why Dark Matter worked for me while The Ark doesn't is the premise. Ark has a premise that sounds dead serious, so the fact its not taken seriously is just kind of annoying. Where DM the premise was inherently pulpy and goofy if that makes sense?

Like if its campy and corny they need to stop the "we have 48 hours until we all die" plots every episode.

Watch the latest episode and you will see that its premise is absolutely comical >!They are basically creating a tech cult similar to what people have done to Elon Musk in recent years!<

Ah lol I will check it out.

Then this was a problem with marketing and the trailer, which made this look like a gritty survival story.
