Just watched the first episode of "Away"

[Fla Dem]

9. Finished the series last night. Very good. Some very suspenseful situations. (Maybe some spoilers)

Emma Green embarks on a treacherous mission to Mars in command of an international crew, leaving behind her husband and teenage daughter.

Really like the show and most of the characters.

There are some slow segments, mostly involving Hillary Swank's daughter (15) and her romantic involvement with a very nice guy who is 2 years older. Understand this is to lay groundwork and background for drama of crew being away from their families during their 3 year mission. Fast forwarded through them if they became too drawn out.

Also not thrilled the writers are hinting at romantic interests between Commander Emma Green (Swank) and Ram Arya (PanthakI) 2nd in command and medical doctor, also between Emma's husband Matt (Josh Charles) and Emma's friend Melissa. This just seems like a easy plot twists.

Appreciated the family background on all the crew members. Gave you a inkling of where they were coming from in their interactions and dialogue.

The space travel and events happening during the trip were at times filled with tension. During the entry into Mars atmosphere I think I was actually holding my breath.

Good series. Looking forward to the next season.
