If you haven't seen the first 3 episodes of Dark Matter on Apple's streaming service you are missing out.
Don't look it up. Don't watch a trailer. Just go into it blind and enjoy it.

Dark Mater I watched a few seasons its a few years back but not he same show
There is the new 2024 TV series, some China guy in America story worked like a beast of burden politics blocks his achievements maybe stars with Meryl Streep, also a fun Syfy tv series about a ragtag scifi spaceship crew with memory loss
maybe you were drinking a lot of booze, a good show

Ok might give that first ep a look
already seen a series of blogger gif or tv link online, so I know who is in it at least
Apple Tv is not the worst however they have backed up crap like the new movie Napoleon.
EDIT having a look now
maybe some camera writing Foreshadowing the story device utilized to give a hint or indication of future events in the story ... not sure if Foreshadowing, I think we expect it these days.
Guy who wrote this show, a positive and other novels was a show I previously watched, books were adapted into the television series 'Wayward Pines'.
Joel Edgerton Zero Dark Thirty, Great Gatsby he almost looks like a twin of Steve Bacic, tv Stargate, BattleStar, Xfiles, guested in the Xmen movie and Andromeda tv (this site used to be an Andromeda site)
Steve is more athletic and nose is different but they look almost the same, I kinda feel like Ive seen the face a lot more?
Jennifer Connelly
teen kid doesn't crash car, forgiving
Schrödinger's Cat
Friend wins a book prize a call / text disturbs night of wine with wife, he seems comfortable-ish but no satisfaction or interaction with students
Wife says go meet friend
spooky car pulling away, out of tune music we ought to get outta this place, illuminat pirate news occult tattoo, weird seeing group introduced fast their faces stare at the camera almost breaking the 4th wall so you almost feel drunkish in a bar
it slows down camera pulls in, they have a quiet moment money, Neurotech conspiracy unfolds?
Also actress Jennifer Connelly and weird alt dimension geometry in the intro
something weird may happen?
like that Bowie scene
hope it adds humor, I'm both a fan and a critic of a guy like Joss but at least he throws in jokes

For what was obvious and shamelessly low budget fare, I really liked (the old) Dark Matter. Never bothered watching the 3rd and last season though because I heard they didn't end it properly and I wasn't about to Sarah Connor Chronicles myself again.
Yeah. I was drinking a lot of booze, but I remember it enough to vaguely recall a comedic episode like the old Star Trek shows used to do. It had to do with a device on the ship putting in a Groundhog Day style time loop. The the dumb "Jayne" type was the only one aware it was happening. I remember laughing out loud a few times that episode. The dumbest guy on the ship had to learn stuff like engineering to fix the problem and/or prove to them more quickly the next day that what he was saying was true. You got the feeling that even though you only saw maybe 2 dozen repeats of the day, he might have been at that for 1,000 years before he got it all right. I think maybe he had to learn a foreign language for some reason too?
I can't remember a single character's name in Dark Matter now, but I do remember they did a great job making you care about all the characters as the story unfolded. That Jayne type in the Groundhog Day episode was always just a dick, and I think in those first few episodes he may have even come off as a possible straight up bad guy. But by the time that episode aired they'd already been doing a good job humanizing him and being part of the team that didn't just include his Army of One anymore. But that episode, as silly as it was, really put the glue on the characters and made you believe that this was now a team of people who cared for each other and weren't just random amnesiac strangers who didn't trust anyone and were only looking out for Number #1 like everyone did in the beginning of the series.
The more I'm thinking about it, the more I'm liking the show again in my mind. They did a really good job. Maybe I should watch that 3rd season.
I lost you on the Meryl Streep thing though. Having a hard time figuring your meaning.

Seems its going to go 'Quantum Leap' mixed with alt reality thriller horror maybe?
In real life NASA science types they say 'Dark Matter' is a real thing but simply unknown matter, in movie media there was a drama with Meryl Streep
the other movie
I think it was Bush years, Patriot Act, ban stem cells, sanction French Cheese, dont trust the Russian or Chinese ...it looked watchable but I never seen it
seems like a docu drama
the subject does not look happy
one of the actress was in the tv series Fringe,
another in Argo, Atlas Shrugged
As for the current Dark Matter
I will finish the first episode, good opening pilot

They didn't have names they had numbers, not as wacko as an old cult TV Show The Prisoner is a British television series created by Patrick McGoohan...in Dark Matter they named each other by numbers as they came out of the cryo suspended animation pods.
Although I remember one called 'The Android'

I don't believe I've ever seen anything by Apple TV before. I don't really even recall anybody talking about anything they do other than the fall of Napoleon and a few other movies last year... Didn't they do that Michael Jordan movie AIR too?
This being my first exposure to what they do, I'm extremely impressed so far. I know that speaks nothing to the overall quality of their work, but if somebody ever recommended me another show they did, I certainly wouldn't turn it down after what they appear to be doing here.

Yeah. You're probably right. I think even people who aren't aware they are looking for foreshadowing are just doing it on a subconscious level at this point. Doing otherwise would be like going to an M Knight Shamalyan flick and not expecting a plot twist.
You're not wrong to expect foreshadowing while watching this. Pretty sure I could watch a youtuber break these episodes down and point out foreshadowing that went right past me while I was focusing on something else too. I'm really impressed with the writing and the plot so far. Right now, I'm sure there's stuff I'm not currently aware was foreshadowing that will crystalize only after the next episode drops.

Heard of Wayward Pines before. Don't know nothing about it though. Good to hear a recommendation for him though. I'm sure not complaining about anything so far.

Jennifer Connelly
Jennifer Connelly is the only person I've seen so far I recognize from anything I've ever seen, but I think the rest of the cast is doing great.

Heh... Yeah. I think that scene went way worse in a different kind of series.

Foreshadowing.

Were you taking notes as you watched it? How far have you gotten?

I love that intro a little more every time I see it.
*** NO SPOILERS IN INTRO, AT LEAST NOT ANYTHING THAT IS GOING TO MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU BEFORE YOU'VE WATCHED IT:

Been ages since I've seen Labrynth. That was a really cool movie to watch as a kid. I don't think I've ever seen it in HD. Man... that scene was done phenomenally. Still looks great 40 years later. Thanks for posting the link.

Three episodes in and I'm not sure where it's going yet. I have more knowledge than you do on that right now and I won't spoil anything, but by the time you finish episode 3 you're going to know a lot more than you do right now. Or... I suppose... you'll at least believe you know a lot more than you do right now. I wouldn't put that past them either with writing this good.

Oh. Now I follow the last post after seeing that trailer. I'd never even heard of that Dark Matter before.

Yeah... Nah. I never forgot the show. I just stopped watching pretty much everything I was watching around that time when I stopped drinking, and Dark Matter was one of the few shows I would have even considered actually going back to.
How do you think it ended? Did you watch the 3rd season? I don't remember exactly what I heard bad about it at the time, but it turned me off from even bothering with continuing it.

Oh right! Numbers. Was "Jayne" "two"? Was the young girl "six"? I might be totally wrong on those but that's what's stuck in my mind right now for some reason.
Wasn't "One" the guy you thought was going to be your "avatar" and the main character of the show but then he turned out to be a bad guy?
Heh... Crazy how long buried memories start coming back to you but only in part.
Yeah... Prisoner was cool. They had it on Nick at Nite one summer and we watched it with my old man who told us about how he watched it when he was a kid and hadn't seen it since. He also told us about Secret Agent Man but they never played that on TV back when I would have ever watched it. I always loved that weird ass song they played at the end of every episode of The Prisoner.
I remembered there was a bike on it but I forgot about the artwork behind it.
Everything about that show was so damn weird.
You ever see the 3 or 4 episode miniseries remake with Jim Cavezel before? If you haven't, I've got another great recommendation for you.
