One of the few sci fi shows that makes an alien world truly feel alien. Where it clearly has its own evolution, ecosystems, rules, etc., but they are so... alien that it is barely comprehensible to the characters and audience.

I've heard about the show on an episode of the podcast "Endless Thread", where the creator Joseph Bennett talked about how the show came to be and how his creative process worked.
It was very intriguing and I started watching it on the same day. This would have really deserved a renewal for another season, but sadly it got cancelled.

> an episode of the podcast
Mind sharing a link? I found the podcast but not the episode.

I watched the first episode or so and that was it for me. I don't remember it being super grim but it was too depressing and ominous for me.
For those curious, start by watching the 8 minute short which originated it all. If it hooks you, you’ll love the show.

But be aware the show wasn’t renewed for a second season. Not enough people knew about it.
