Mars (2016)

Written by SkyPowers on December 18, 2018

Fast-forwarding makes this dreck semi-tolerable. What do viewers most want to see in a series called "Mars"? How about Mars? They spend very little time outside exploring and most of the time ensconced indoors acting out their soap operas. The last episode (is it a spoiler if it has already aired) is a political statement about fracking causing environmental harm and a massive Martian earthquake. The USGS refutes the claim that hydraulic drilling creates earthquakes or at least is a very minor influence. With fast-forwarding you can get the gist in about 10 minutes. Yes wouldn't it be wonderful if there were underground lakes on Mars. Next stop, The Twilight Zone.
