A gritty space station crew navigates cosmic politics and intimate alien encounters with earnest, measured resolve.
Epic. A full-attention watch at a measured pace. Emotionally it is heavy.
Streaming on Paramount+ and Pluto TV (free).
Strong violence and some innuendo or implied sex, which is more than most TV-PG titles carry. Beyond that, mild language and a few tense moments.
Our estimate: fine from about 13, higher than the TV-PG suggests, because of the violence.
How we rate: an AI reads what is known about each title and tags it 0 to 3; we check the tags against a hand-rated set and correct them by hand when readers tell us. Estimates, not a scene-by-scene review. Spot a mistake? Tell us.
