DARK MATTER boasts a highly unusual, dramatic abduction plot line. It spans the intricate world of quantum physics and then some. It is surprising while offering a very delicate, twisted journey. It is a complete story and could have ended with season one, but at this point, it has another in the works.
DARK MATTER is based on the novel written by Blake Crouch, who happens to be one of the screenwriters. Joel Edgerton portrays Jason in the ever-expanding lead role. He is forever connected to the talented Jennifer Connelly as his wife, Daniella. Theirs is a creepy, sci-fi love story for all time. The relationship between them is the foundation for every episode, and it asks how far you would go. I cannot answer for fear of spoiling the entire story. However, I found Jason to be stiff-looking within the highly emotional ups and downs. I needed more facially and physically, especially when audiences view multiple possibilities. This would have helped with identifying each character.
DARK MATTER was, for the most part, exciting and entertaining, even though “Jupiter” never helped me relax while watching. I am not sure I need to view more when it returns. The black box holds the key.
It is streaming on Apple TV+.
