Extant (TV Series)

"There are more questions than answers in the pilot of 'Extant', which, in this case, is a good thing. The seeds of dramatic conflict have been planted, and we're going to come back the next week to see how all of this plays out." 

"The show clearly plans to unveil the science fiction slowly (...) This will rule out some casual viewers, because 'Extant' is a show to which you must pay attention/--a task which, happily, the writing and acting make rather pleasant. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)" 

"Coolly conceived and professionally directed (...) 'Extant’s' creator and cast seem to be taking things seriously enough as a work of sci-fi origami, folded and layered with a certain precision." 

"The show’s strong cast hints at more promise than the premiere ultimately exhibits, racing as it does to establish a foundation for what’s to come." 

"The mostly intriguing premiere raises many questions, not least of which is: Will the story be too out there for a mainstream audience? (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)"
