- Synopsis:
From Academy Award-winning producer Steven Spielberg comes a sci-fi thriller that hinges on the meaning of family and the essence of humanity. When astronaut Molly Woods (Halle Berry) returned from a 13-month solo mission aboard a space station, she did not come back alone. Against all odds and explanation, she is pregnant. Her doctor Sam Barton (Camryn Manheim) is baffled. While Molly acclimates to life back on Earth, she struggles to make sense of the events surrounding her miraculous, mystery pregnancy and tries to balance life with her ambitious husband and increasingly enigmatic son. After her husband John (Goran Visnjic) and she were unable to conceive, he used his skills as a robotics engineer to create their "son", Ethan. Ethan is a "humanich" - a humanoid robot who serves as the prototype for John's career-defining project. Science and emotions collide as Molly tries to keep her family and life together. As details of her space journey emerge, it becomes clear that one daring mission is poised to change human history. - Actors:

Not AAA but not bad - Extant: Series 1 review by SV
This isn't exactly AAA HBO-style high concept, high budget sci-fi, it's more "permium network TV" quality. Halle Berry is obviously a big star, and there's the hunky doctor chap from ER all those years ago, but all the other actors you've seen before somewhere too. The visual effects are better than you'd expect, more Hollywood than Dr Who.
The story is a decent X-Files type alien conspiracy yarn with a bit of robots thrown in, and it moves along at a fair old clip, so if you're looking for something not too challenging but not too dumb to veg out to, this'll do yer.
