“Beacon 23” Review

Beacon 23: Created by Zak Penn. With Lena Headey, Stephan James, Wade Bogert-O’Brien, Natasha Mumba. A man living in the 23rd Century works at a remote “lighthouse” in space that serves as a beacon to help passing ships.

I had no clue that MGM had their own streaming service and I don’t think I knew that Lena Headey was doing a hard science fiction series until about a week before it started. It’s a well done short season with one or two sets, but with multiple groups of actors, I don’t think there was a single episode where it was the same people on the Beacon at the same time for the entire episode, always with new comers, late leavers and time time jumps back to when important things were happening decades earlier. It’s good and was just approved for a second season, so we have that to look forward to some day.
