"Ascension" is set onboard starship Ascension. In 1963, the U.S. government launched a covert space mission sending hundreds of men, women and children on a century-long voyage aboard the Ascension to populate a new world. Nearly 50 years into the journey, as they approach the point of no return, the mysterious murder of a young woman causes the ship’s population to question the true nature of their mission.

The fuck kind of ending was that?
Yes... They sad there won’t be any more Ascension, at least on Syfy...
Bad news friends, SyFy isn't going any further with Ascension.

I hope it'll be back sometime soon. It was quite good :)
We were promised Mad Men in space and instead we got a rushed "short serie" that crams two season's worth of plotlines in three hour-long episodes. There are a lot of storylines that just go nowhere and the ultimate final reveal is (together with all the rest) is just... rediculous.
Bummer...
Wow, it sort of made me remember "The Truman Show" but in a complete different way. Can't wait for the next season (if it will be a second season)
I really hope that will be a Season 2 !!
Night 1 and 2 were underwhelming, but 3 was amazing. Yeah it has some tropes, but I was entertained throughout and blown away by the final scenes. Full series please!
Best thing SyFy has done since BSG? I hope we get a full season.
Hmm, this is all wrong. It aired as 3 parts (episodes), split up as Night One, Two and Three, and yet it is listed here as having 6 "episodes" at 120 minutes a piece, which is waaaaay off.
Night Two and Night Three were much better than that dreadful Night One...I also got my wish in the 3rd episode with the blond police chick. In the end I give this prologue to a 'maybe' series a 6,5/10. Watchable with potential to become something greater.
DAYUM. People gotta watch this! Ep 1 is so slow, but it just gets WAY better from the on.
Is this it??
I want more!!
