Fran Ruiz is our resident Star Wars guy. His hunger for movies and TV series is only matched by his love for video games. He got a BA of English Studies, focusing on English Literature, from the University of Malaga, in Spain, as well as a Master's Degree in English Studies, Multilingual and Intercultural Communication.

If there's one perfect word to describe"Constellation" so far, it's"uneven" . After an explosiveWith Oliver Hirschbiegel once again in the director's chair, episode 5 feels too meandering and unengaging to keep the momentum going, instead shifting back to focus on the writing's weakest links and paper-thin mystery. However, it does provide a wider look into the conspiracy surrounding the otherworldly plot at its center and ends with a genuine headscratcher.

Jo also decides to steal the CAL experiment without any real plan and not finding any sort of security on her way, which comes across as lazy writing at best. It seems that it was important to get our protagonist from point A to B, but even with all the emotional stress and external pressure, Jo's actions in this episode lack the believability that made the previous chapter so enjoyable.

Another unexpected positive is seeing one of Jo's ISS co-workers, Ilya Andreev , getting a bit of the spotlight and also facing what definitely looks like a good ol' conspiracy."Constellation"'s secret weapon could be what's been going on for decades prior to the CAL experiment instead of its consequences, weird as that might seem. Some answers have already been spelled out, yet it's hard to discern how everything comes together beyond the reality-bending phenomena.
