Dark Matter (Firefly ripoff?)

Man I really hate that. When I become ultimate dictator of the universe I'm going to establish a law that says that any network that cancels a show has to allow the creators to make a final episode to resolve any cliffhangers.

One episode could have resolved the immediate cliffhangers, but this show left so many dangling plotlines and unanswered questions that it needed at least one full season to wrap things up reasonably.

I don't know this show, is it good?

I watched it from start to finish but I don't think it was very good. I think it started out strong but kept getting weaker. It was really messy and struggled to stay on course.

Who pays the bill for the losses?

Since the show was based on a comic book, perhaps the comic book provides resolution as to the events that transpired after what was depicted in the last season. I don't know how faithful the show was to the source, though.

Edit: I just looked it up, and the comic book only had four issues. So I doubt it would provide any insight as to what happened after S3 of the TV series.

I enjoyes dark matter in the beginning but gave up before the end. I think i only kept coming back for the android. To me it did have a very similar feel to Firefly. In fact i watched the first episode and then got my boyfriend to watch it by saying it felt just like Firefly

It was annoying that Dark Matter got cancelled but I got over it - it was watchable enough but it wasn't all that good. We know that

Spoiler: some of the main characters

Five and Android

appear to survive into the relatively distant future but the storylines were meandering so much that I don't expect we'd get a very satisfactory resolution no matter (sic) when the series finished. It didn't seem to me that the overall story arc was very well defined and mapped out as compared to say Babylon 5 or The Expanse.

The show started to lose me when Ryo was separated from the crew and left to spout the same angry one-dimensional nonsense week after week. I never felt like it did anything to build up his character or Zairon. It's like when The Walking Dead devotes an entire episode to one character to convey something that could've been accomplished with one segment.
