Apple TV+’s “Constellation” Gets Lost in Space with a Dragged-Out Mystery: TV Review
The Apple TV+ space drama 'Constellation' stars Noomi Rapace and Jonathan Banks as astronauts investigating a mysterious accident.
(There’s also “For All Mankind,” “Foundation” and, technically, the most recent season of “The Morning Show.”) But the show also exemplifies a type of series so recognizable it’s become practically a genre unto itself: a story that calls for the concision of a feature film that’s been stretched out to fill a TV-sized number of episodes. When an unidentified object strikes the ISS, the ensuing damage kills Jo’s American teammate Paul Lancaster (William Catlett), who’d been conducting an experiment dubbed the Cold Atomic Lab, or CAL, on behalf of his NASA commander Henry “Bud” Caldera ( Jonathan Banks). It’s a harrowing ordeal, but pales in comparison to the emotional minefield that now separates Jo from her husband Magnus (James D’Arcy) and 10-year-old daughter Alice (Rosie Coleman), who’ve bonded in her yearlong absence.
