What to Know

Critics Consensus

Dark Matter's intriguing ideas are spread a tad thin over its season-long runtime, but fans of foreboding sci-fi will find its residue addictively sticky.

James Dyer Empire Magazine 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. Rated: 3/5 May 23, 2024 Full Review Gregory Wakeman Chicago Reader This sci-fi thriller has its missteps, but powerful leading actors give it depth and resonance. May 16, 2024 Full Review Randy Myers San Jose Mercury News “Dark Matter” asks us to consider our own dual natures and how they would be altered if our worlds were different. Rated: 3/4 May 15, 2024 Full Review James Delingpole The Spectator The plot could now go in any direction it pleases, regardless of plausibility. But I can’t escape because I’ve got to know and quite like some of these characters, so I’m going to have to keep watching. Jun 20, 2024 Full Review Stephanie Malone Morbidly Beautiful 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. Rated: 4/5 Jun 11, 2024 Full Review Nestor Bentancor Nestor Cine Desde Hollywood Quality entertainment for both geeks and the masses, that radiates warmth while stimulating the gray matter.

Debi R I thought this series was awesome, such a mind trip at times. Got a tad confusing at the end, but still one of my faves. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/30/24 Full Review Salvatore R Last two episodes ruined the show. Starting was great but then the ending makes completely any sense. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/30/24 Full Review Audience Member "Dark Matter" is like trying to follow a spaghetti noodle maze with a blindfold on. Plot holes? They're abundant, and big enough to drive a spaceship through. The romance is so cheesy it might just pair well with a fine wine. As for the science in this science fiction, it's in size 2 font and practically vanishes after the first episode. But, and this is a big but, the show is incredibly heartwarming and bingeworthy. It's like comfort food for the sci-fi soul. Intriguing from start to finish, it keeps you hooked despite its flaws. The real gem here is Jennifer Connelly as Daniella. She absolutely steals the show, delivering a performance that makes you forget about all the missing scientific logic. So, if you can overlook the narrative Swiss cheese and just enjoy the ride, "Dark Matter" is a solid pick. 4/5 stars. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/29/24 Full Review Dean G 7 episodes in and enjoying it thoroughly. Check it out. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/29/24 Full Review Gab C It killed some time, wouldn't recommend it though. The fact there could be 10s, 100s, 1000s of main characters in different multiverses really took the connection to any of the characters away. If anything is possible you just think of that possibility and you have it through a door... How hard could it be. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/29/24 Full Review Domenick Absorbing, cool, deep and well paced - except for the last 7 or 8 minutes, which seemed a bit implausible and rushed. Best book I read last year is the second best TV show I've seen this year (After Fallout). Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/29/24 Full Review Read all reviews
