I finished the entire first season yesterday.  My opinion of the show dropped as I watched more episodes.  Most of the characters grew on me, but the final few episodes got very weird -- swerving from sci fi into inexplicably mystical horror.

There were some fine moments, I'd say the best scene is when the relatively minor character played by Cosmo Jarvis has spectacular sex with [spoiler].  But ultimately this beautiful scene is undermined by subsequent revelations.

It seems the true protagonist of Season One is a planetary omniscience, and as this fact becomes more clear to viewers the story itself makes less sense.  Everybody was just dancing to the tune of the planetary omniscience all along, so what was the point?

I doubt I will watch the second season.
