Why can't they portray scientists correctly onscreen? Scientists have emotions, sure, but they are also able to think logically and rationally. This group of scientists have more in common with Hollywood writers sitting in a room than actual researchers. Nothing they do is logical, rational, or reasonable.
Trying to ignore the tidal wave of glaring errors gets old fast. Isolated stations in the Antarctic don't need locks on their doors. Ventilation shafts are not large enough to be crawled through because of turbulence. The sun doesn't go from high noon one day to not rising the next. At eighty below naked people freeze long before they can climb through an air vent. Scientists stay in these stations to do research that can only be performed under those conditions: bacteria can be studied anywhere. And so on and on and on.
Five stars for an interesting setting, good acting, and a very engaging first episode. No stars for making us watch hours of flashbacks that never happened. Five stars.
