Is this show about…

The scientist:

"The same thing can be in two different states at the same time."

"There's a world in which that particle is black and a world in which that particle is white."

That's quantum superposition and many-worlds interpretation. MULTIVERSE! I think it's about two parallel universes mixing.

Sounds like a show that follows J.J. Abrams' "Mystery Box" model.

>Good acting so far, but wow is the story all over the place.

They are trying to obfuscate the simple fact that the two astronauts' lives have been switched with their lives from different realities. If they would stop beating around the bush by heavily padding the runtime with boring soap opera crap, it could be a good sci-fi horror or thriller. Eye-roll, facepalm, and ultimately snore, so far, unfortunately.

Just like Star Trek! TOS episode, Discovery S3 and maybe S5.

Now that I am through ep 3 it's a bit more than that. There are scenes where Jonathan Banks is caught talking to a video of himself in another dimension. Plus the space agency's are feeding them lithium and calling it vitamins. Why?

It's more about the observer effect of quantum mechanics rather than totally about alternate realities. The observer effect can affect others around you in certain scenarios based on ep 3. It's carving a different path than the standard tropes. It's nothing new - but it's interesting and the acting is fantastic.

Yes, that jumping between times and realities is getting very annoying. In EPISODE 4 I just gave up trying to guess which reality we are in.

I can't be interested in what is happening and who I should root for If I don't understand in what reality out main character is. And what she wants. Specially in those stupid "future episodes in the cabin".

What I see is that she is neglecting her daughter. In both realities.

In EPISODE 4 when she doesn't know she is in different reality and thinks it's her own - we could clearly see that she doesn't really love her daughter that much. She left her for 1 year to go to space. Then attacks verbally HER TEACHER in front of daughter class basically telling whole class that teacher might sleep with her husband. And daughter has to go to school next day to be laughed at because kids will gossip. But she only thought about herself.

Then doesn't care about daughter being in stress with her behaving weird and hiding in closet.

But then in future time she is obsessed with getting her own daughter. To the point that she treats this timeline daughter like she is nobody and liability. Like she is some freak who is "not a real daughter", telling it to her face!!! And remember that this timeline daughter is just an ordinary girl who thinks this is her real mom. And then crazy mom tells her she is not and that mom must find "her real daughter". Can you imagine mental effect it has on child? But she doesn't care.

I really don't like main character. She is not a good mother. Her coldness and disinterest toward alternate daughter is just criminal.
