When crew members working on a derelict spaceship awaken from stasis, they have no memory of who they are or how they got onto the vessel. The only clues to their identities are weaponry and a destination -- a remote mining colony soon to become a war zone. They must band together to fight off the threats they face on a voyage filled with vengeance, betrayal and secrets that make survival a question mark for all on board the ship. In the wake of a betrayal, the crew is split up. Some are imprisoned, while others are sent away to start a new life. The sci-fi series is based on the graphic novel of the same name.

Maureen Ryan Variety For hardcore sci-fi fans, Dark Matter should have enough upsides to keep them tuning in: It has a sense of humor, reliable forward momentum, and it generally gets the job done reasonably well. Jun 27, 2016 Full Review Crystal Sparrow Black Girl Nerds In other words, Dark Matter came back sure-footed and ready to entertain. May 23, 2018 Full Review Michael Ahr Den of Geek In the space of one episode, Dark Matter has broadened the scope of its world to a greater extent than in the whole of season 1. Rated: 4/5 May 23, 2018 Full Review Kathleen Wiedel TV Fanatic Roger Cross is doing a great job of expressing Six's inner tug-of-war between his duty as a cop and his friendship with the Raza crew. Rated: 4.3/5 Mar 20, 2018 Full Review Andrew Liptak The Verge It has a cast of wildly different characters, each with their own motivations and agendas, and the show manages to cram an impressive amount of story and world-building into just a couple of seasons. Jun 9, 2017 Full Review Michael Simpson SciFiNow Dark Matter satisfies the baser instincts while appealing to the imagination: a winning combination that, if maintained, could secure the show an outstanding place in the history of sci-fi TV.

Michael C After a slightly slow start this series becomes even better than the first. One of the best sci-fi series around. It's a really good watch even if you're not into sci-fi as it's all about the characters rather than just lots of shooting and special effects. Recommended! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/28/24 Full Review Jer C Lost a little steam still a great series. Watched it on release but just reviewing now Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/13/24 Full Review Audience Member I love Dark Matter to bits but season 2 was a low point for me. Largely because of a certain thing that happens at the end of the very first episode :',( But also I just couldn't get that invested in Nyx or Devin. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member I really enjoyed season one, and was really excited about season 2. Boy was I disappointed. I made it to episode 3 and then it just got terribly cheesy. Episode 3 was just bad. I decided to just ignore it and move on to the next episode. It just got worse. The additional cast is terrible. There was a balance between believable and ridiculous, that's gone and it's tilted to cliche tropes that make me want to stop watching. Prime example of this is the terrible scene in episode 4 with Four and Nyx. Just totally ruined the show. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member The crew in season 2 of DARK MATTER try to do good even though no one seems to want to give them the chance. Then, they meet themselves in an alternate reality where we see how vicious and successful they were before the mindwipe. Again, the characters and lightweight scifi tropes are the most interesting when the crew tries figuring out what they'll do next. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member LOVE IT!! EVEN WITHOUT THE BIG BUDGET FOR THE WARSHIP SCENES. AND THE SPRINKLE OF CHEESE. GREAT CHARACTERS I'D PAY TO SEE MORE OF. AND GRIPPING STORY LINE. WHY IS THIS CANCELLED!?? Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
