Starring no one remotely as famous as Bruce Willis or Brad Pitt? It could have been a total disaster, the kind of midnight-channel experiment you scroll past after a few too many Sharknado reruns. And yet – plot twist! – the show starring Aaron Stanford, Amanda Schull, and Emily Hampshire didn't just dodge the remake curse; it quietly became one of the most inventive, thrilling, and downright addictive sci-fi series of the 2010s.
