Dark Matter

Dark Matter is a Canadian sci-fi thriller and space drama series created by Joseph Mallozzi (Student Bodies, SGU Stargate Universe) and Paul Mullie (SGU Stargate Universe, Transporter: The Series), who also stand behind Dark Matter as the executive producers. A product of Blue Penguin, Dark Matter was released in Canada on June 12, 2015.

The plot of Dark Matter is a mystifying story about the six-person crew of an undependable spaceship, who occasionally awaken from stagnation in somewhere in the space. They don’t remember anything about their personalities and have no idea of what they are doing on the board. The only clue to the answers is a cargo packed with armoires and a target: an isolated mining dwelling looking like a war area. The crew, who don’t even remember their names and acquire numbers instead, struggle to get at their mission on the enigmatic ship.

Season 1 debut episode of Dark Matter drew in about a million viewers, but the ratings dropped and season 2 premiere attracted 0.8 million viewers, which is a considerable 15% decline. As it typically happens, the series lost some of its regular viewers, but still, Dark Matter is doing well in the ratings department and remains a critics’ favorite. The space drama and thriller has enjoyed a handful of nominations for various awards.
