SO I did a search and zilch. Any of you hard core Sci Fi fans watching or have watched this series? I have been sick for 3 weeks, so binged the 6 seasons, and cannot wait for number 7 this spring. It was really well done, and I just loved how each season transitioned to an entirely new theme, while wrapping up the old one nicely.
Premise is post apocalypse earth, about a 100 years into the future. Humanity sent 13 colonies out into space on stations to ride out the 100 years it would take the earth to rebound from all the radiation. So for a few generations, mankind has lived in space, with very limited resources, and a hair trigger on crime, with everything punishable by death(to keep populations down) Only kids under 18 are spared and thrown in jail until they are 18, then they get floated(method of execution, sent into space).
But as luck would have it, the station is dying, so they send 100 of their kids in jail to the surface of earth, to see if it is habitual yet. This is where the story really begins, and then 6 seasons about the survival of the human race, those 100 kids, and the fact that they find out the earth was not exactly empty of folks all those years...
I loved the hard core sci fi element to the show, didn't veer off into the fantasy genre hardly at all.. Anyone else watch this show? really surprised it has not come up as of yet, I would put it in my top 10 of all time sci fi series...
