      Dark Matter: Season 1 Reviews

      A tense, thrilling, and emotional exploration of the choices that define our lives, it's a smart and terrifying sci-fi sizzler. If you’re looking for lightweight, casual viewing, look elsewhere. This show is designed to challenge and stimulate you.

      Quality entertainment for both geeks and the masses, that radiates warmth while stimulating the gray matter. [Full Review in Spanish]

      Full Review | Jun 8, 2024

      It's a high concept premise that knows how to leave the gimmick in the background as scaffolding so the characters can take flight between the lines. [It's] about the characters, not the machine.

      Full Review | Original Score: 8/10 | Jun 7, 2024

      Although it’s a bloated nine episodes, there are an infinity of directions for it to go. Not a fan of the genre myself, Dark Matter successfully kept my interest.

      Not as ambitious as Foundation, nor as brain-taxing as Constellation, this 'what if?' series hits the spot nonetheless, maintaining Apple's status as the default home of thoughtful, adult-orientated sci-fi.

      Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | May 23, 2024

      The writing is a bit dry, but Dark Matter's cast is top-notch -- and the fairly brisk pace means viewers and characters are caught up on what's happening without too much meandering.

      Joel Edgerton consistently grounds this high-concept plot, which jumps back and forth with increasing wildness. [Full review in Spanish]

      You can anticipate most of the turns even if you get the order wrong. And yet, I’d be lying if I said that this wasn’t the most enthralling, gripping, and emotionally rewarding multiverse trip I’ve been on in a long time.

      ... The plot is fantastic; while simple in its approach, it is captivating in its development. [Full review in Spanish]

      Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | May 16, 2024

      This sci-fi thriller has its missteps, but powerful leading actors give it depth and resonance.

      Full Review | May 16, 2024

      “Dark Matter” asks us to consider our own dual natures and how they would be altered if our worlds were different.

      Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | May 15, 2024

      Dark Matter is a grim slog of a TV series that has plenty of intellectual heft but few emotional ones.

      Full Review | May 15, 2024

      Edgerton and Connelly are excellent, as the performances elevate the occasionally slow-moving storyline. The stress and slow-building intensity will inevitably have viewers locked in from week to week.

      Full Review | Original Score: 7.5/10 | May 12, 2024

      'Dark Matter' imagines a multiverse in which multiple possible versions of reality spawn enemies to be feared. Which makes it a synthesis of the recent multiversal obsession in pop culture. [Full Review in Spanish]

      Full Review | Original Score: A+ | May 11, 2024

      Shouldered by a formidable Joel Edgerton and propped up by an outstanding supporting cast, Dark Matter hits the ground running and sci-fi fans would be foolish to miss it.

      Full Review | Original Score: 8/10 | May 11, 2024

      Mind-bending and dense and at times exhilarating...

      Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | May 10, 2024

      Dark Matter” smartly deals with the themes of choice, identity and making the most of one’s life.

      Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | May 10, 2024

      Dark Matter sets up a story that has a lot of science fiction intrigue, but makes it clear that it’s more about the regrets of the people in its story than about the science itself.

      Full Review | May 9, 2024

      It’s hard to conceive of a better showcase for Edgerton, a fine actor who is rarely ostentatious. He not only makes each Jason different, but also distinctly sympathetic. Who’s to blame when culprit and victim are one and the same?

      Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | May 9, 2024

      There is a high level of suspense, tangible tension created by Jason’s dilemmas and by the action-thriller aspects of “Dark Matter,” and that the acting is first-rate.
