It was, without a doubt, one of the worst things I have seen in some time, and will cast a pall over the entire genre of Science Fiction TV for years to come.

The concept is not that bad:  Earths first interstellar crew is en route to Epsilon Eridanii, for a vaguely defined mission.  There is some Global Warming BS thrown in, so that a threat to humanities survival is supposed to add some tension.

Moore then throws in the real kink:  The trip is being recorded, 24/7, and the feeds sent back to earth as a Reality show.  There is a lot of anti-corporate and anti-capitalist crap thrown in, to buttress the Global Warming crap.  Moore must be trying to wins some Lefty award for TV or something.

The twist in the story is that the crew uses Virtual Reality as an escape valve (though it looks like it has the opposite effect), and there is some evil intelligence sabotaging their VR dreams.

If you like watching Reality TV, you may find some glimmer of entertainment in this show.  If you like Hard Science Fiction, or Space Opera, you will be disappointed.

I can honestly say that I would rather watch an odd numbered Trek movie, or suffer through the X Files – I Want To Believe again,  than sit through a single episode of Virtuality.
