So a happy accident of having Apple TV+ is discovering an overwhelming number of sci-fi offerings available.
The first of which I'm watching is...
Constellation (2024)
It's about an astronaut on the International Space Station, which after an accident occurs, leaves limited life support and systems, and she's by herself while having to jerry rig her escape home.
There was an experiment that occurred just before the accident happened and NASA wants it transported back.
It has an intriguing set up. What's slightly creepy is that it plays with the time line, and has the astronaut is back on Earth, apparently seeing things after she kidnaps the experiment. It's not exactly clear what's happening.
Stars Noomi Rapace, Jonathan Banks, James D'Arcy, Rosie Coleman, Davina Coleman, William Catlett, Julian Looman, Barbara Sukowa, Henry David, Sandra Teles, and Carole Weyers
I'm about 5 episodes in, and it's freaking me out.
There's multiple realities?
They go through the whole quantum physics explanation.
There are some creepy moments... encountering another version of yourself or others... the pills they give some astronauts... the couple that made recordings that ONLY some can hear in certain places... the cover ups....
By the way, Noomi Rapace is perfectly cast as the lead and Jonathan Banks does an amazing job being secretive AND menacing.
#Constellation isn't being renewed, and I won't ever know if my wild theories were correct, or if I was simply a victim of continuity errors. Left out in the cold, with nothing more than a lantern to warm my heart...
Die Herzdame meint gerade, Constellation sei wie Twin Peaks.
Also Twin Peaks habe ich geliebt. Sie fand es einfach nur grotesk. Constellation finde ich auch grotesk.
Aber ich mag ja auch Grotesken. 😊
Been offline most of the day, instead of catching up with doomscrolling I think I am going to watch today’s episode of #Constellation on Apple TV+. They are really making great quality sci fi.
So, die letzte Folge von Infiltration (Original: Invasion) ist geschafft. Die mit Abstand schlechteste Serie, die ich bislang auf Apple TV+ gesehen habe. Ganz klar keine Empfehlung.
🚨 We're back tomorrow AM with our #astronomy (aka Cosmic Background) #podcast episode on the #constellation Auriga: The Charioteer!
So -- what's this one look like to y'all?? Are you able to make out a Charioteer (or does it look like another constellation guy we've discussed this season... 🙃 )
