“Constellation” stars Noomi Rapace as Jo — an astronaut who returns to Earth after a disaster in space — only to discover that key pieces of her life seem to be missing. The action-packed space adventure is an exploration of the dark edges of human psychology, and one woman's desperate quest to expose the truth about the hidden history of space travel and recover all that she has lost.

"Constellation" also stars Jonathan Banks (“Breaking Bad,” “Better Call Saul”). Created and written by Peter Harness (“Wallander,” “The War of the Worlds,” “Doctor Who” ), also starring James D'Arcy (“Agent Carter,” “Oppenheimer”), Julian Looman (“Emily in Paris,” “The Mallorca Files”), Will Catlett (“A Thousand and One,” “The Devil You Know”), Barbara Sukowa (“Voyager,” “Hannah Arendt”) and introducing Rosie and Davina Coleman as Alice. Directed by Michelle MacLaren (“Shining Girls,” “The Morning Show,” “Breaking Bad”), Oliver Hirschbiegel (“Downfall,” “The Experiment”) and Joseph Cedar (“Footnote,” “Our Boys”).

Fans of the many quality science-fiction offerings on Apple TV+ will likely be satisfied by “Constellation.” It's an interesting space drama with standout performances from its cast. While Rapace and Banks were expected to be the main draw of this series, and they’re excellent, the performances from Davina and Rosie Coleman are the glue that holds it together. But despite these moving performances, “Constellation” spends too much time floating aimlessly. The show likes to believe it's clever, but the reality is that it often falls flat.
