Constellation Series-Premiere Recap: The Little Rocket Girl


After a strange incident in space, astronaut Jo Ericsson (Noomi Rapace) begins to sense that something has gone awry in her reality.

Directed by Michelle MacLaren and starring Noomi Rapace and Jonathan Banks, the first hour of the series is full of stark contrasts, overt references to the duality of (wo)man, achy parental bonds, and oodles of space intrigue. MacLaren certainly creates a compelling ambiance for the world of the series with her careful camerawork and a striking blue and orange color palette, but at times it feels like the central narrative might hinge on the nonsensical. Of course, McCartney didn’t die — “Wonderful Christmastime” notwithstanding, the man has continued to demonstrate his singular musical genius for decades since the rumors started — but the idea that someone could replace him so seamlessly got many people talking.
