    Don't know if it means anything that this show went from Spectrum to AMC to MGM+ (formerly Epix), but Hugh Howey material is hot right off the heels of Silo. First episode is Nov. 12.

    This looks intriguing and I'm a huge Lena Heady fan, so this is definitely going on my list of things to check out. I think some of the MGM+ stuff also comes to Amazon Prime Video, so if this does I'll check it out.

    I don't know anything about it, but Ira Behr mentioned on Shuttlepod Show that he worked on this, so I hope it's good.

    I'm looking forward to this, just like I do for all things Science Fiction. I hope it is good. I have my Dish DVR set to record the series. On Dish both the first episode (Wreckers) and second episode (Corbenic) air on Nov 12.

    I have often wondered about a space station prison orbiting just inches away from a galactic core black hole…the event horizon passing through a wall…shades of Carpenter’s Prince of Darkness

    Just finished watching. The first two episodes show promise.
