" It ’s not often that a sci - fi serial is call off credible , butone of the show ’s merits is , indeed , its pragmatism . Constellationcreates an accurate replication of the I.S.S. and is n’t afraid to depict what being in space is really like , especially when it come to a zero - somberness environs and terrifying claustrophobia . Meanwhile , even the adapted reality portion is done subtly and realistically , reflecting the difficulty astronauts may experience re - adapt to Earth .
Hence , looker are forever questioning what ’s existent and not , andthe fact that the show is a blend of genuine skill and sci - fi concept make it all the more eerie . to boot , the performances , plot twist , and visuals only financial aid in building an extremely tense series .
