Finished the finale. It was a pretty show, but it suffered from some stiff writing and less than charismatic acting. It got overly sappy in places and a lot of things came together almost magically. I liked Lee Pace in Pushing Daisies and “The Fall”, but he was pretty flat in this. Jared Harris was probably the strongest actor, but almost all his lines sounded like he was delivering prepared speeches.
Meh.

PS: note - I haven’t read the book. I have no idea how well this adaptation follows the original. I did read a review where someone was really mad that they introduced a death-star like powerful weapon/ship to aid in their battle in this and that wasn’t in the original. They the original was about humans using maths to unfuck their situation, rather than force.
