Review of Beacon 23

Beacon 23 (2023– )
6/10
Brilliance Mixed With A Hot Mess
10 May 2024
Beacon 23 is frustrating because so much of the plot is a hot mess, but then there are these wonderful aspects too, and moments of brilliance.

Halan and Aster are the clear stars, but we are missing too much of one of them.

That aside, every time I wonder if I am going to just stop watching, they throw in some brilliant little thing that keeps me tuning back in, hoping the mess gets cleaned up and what's left behind is all the good stuff.

The writers were quoted in an article asking fans to 'hang on,' but they better get to it before it's canceled. We need more shows that take place in space so I am continuing to root for it (as I write this review the show is halfway through S2), but I am not convinced it will last unless they turn it around by this season's end, and I hope that's what happens.
