THE ARK – Review by Susan Granger

March 13, 2023March 18, 2023 Susan Granger Christie Burke, Dean Devlin, episodic series, Jonathan Glassner, peacock, Reece Ritchie, Richard Fleeshman, spaceship adventures, SyFy, The Ark

With the enduring success of Gene Roddenberry’s Star Trek and its various spin-offs, it’s been established that spaceship adventures attract an audience – initially, at least. Whether or not viewers will stay with Dean Devlin’s The Ark for the long-haul is another matter indeed. Filmed on-the-cheap just outside Belgrade, Serbia, the casting is obviously international. Production designer Randal Groves combines practical feasibility with the laws of physics, including the utilization of deployable, metallic solar sails that unfold from the hull like golden-hued origami.
