I really want to like this show, but c'mon

I totally agree. It doesn't feel good to me. It disguises itself as a series based on the people, but it's more about cheap action. And too excessive use of the british accent. Even scandinavian actresses told to be scandinavian is talking with a british accent. I haven't seen more than half of a couple of episodes, but from what I gather, it's supposed to be about an internathional scientist society, like Svalbard. Then it seems weird that it's so british, even though it's a british production. Please tell me if I misunderstoud something because I have watched too little, but this doesn't feel right to me. I see people complain about it being too slow, but I think it's too fast. Too much happening, and too little emphasis on the people. It's more about violent things happening all the time. If they would make it more about isolation and less about things blowing up, I would believe in it more. I have a hard time to really invest in it, since it immedatly made me feel unsatisfied. Is it something I have totally gotten wrong by investing too little time on it, or am I right?

I liked the series in general and even though it was blessedly short, I still feel they could have cut an episode or two and things would have been fine. There were plot holes I picked up on my first viewing that I remember thinking "oh, they'll clear that up" but on my second viewing I'm remembering things that people are saying and doing that they would have had no way of knowing (how would Carrie have known so early Shirley killed her mother with a fork?? She made it in a conversation to Elena. And why would Shirley have had defensive wounds when she was the one doing the attacking? The wounds were brought up several times but they make no sense!!) and it's driving me a bit nuts.

Ah, but do you trust the pets that don't like people...
