'Constellation' Is An Incredibly Unnerving Psychological Thriller | REVIEW

Apple might have another massive hit on its hands with "Constellation."

The tech giant is currently riding high off the success of "Masters of the Air," which has captivated the entertainment industry and country.

Well, you have to keep your foot on the gas when the momentum is high, and that's exactly what Apple has done with "Constellation."

After seeing the trailer, I knew I had to give it a shot and that's exactly what I did with the premiere episode Friday.

"Constellation" is off to a hot start.

The highly-anticipated series stars Noomi Rapace as Johanna "Jo" Ericsson - an astronaut who finds herself stuck on a space station during a deadly disaster.

The situation leaves one dead and Jo alone after the rest of the crew bails out of the space station. Without enough room for everyone, Jo stays behind in an attempt to salvage the situation.

However, not everything is as it appears. She finds the body of a dead female cosmonaut, whose body was buried deep in the space station. Who was she? Why was her body seemingly hidden? Why doesn't anyone know how this happened?

It's off to the races from there as things slowly become clearer and clearer that Jo is no longer just dealing with an accident on a space station. There's something much more sinister lurking.

Without giving away too much, it's not a secret Jo eventually gets home (or does she?. That's made clear in the opening of the show and the trailer (or is it?). However, the mystery we're going to watch unfold revolves around what really happened up there when all hell broke loose.

There's also an element of some kind of super important material that must be in a setting without gravity. Details on this element/substance/thing remain shrouded in mystery through the premiere. Figure for it to play a pivotal role moving forward.

Furthermore, Noomi Rapace is a great actress. American audiences will recognize her from the "Jack Ryan" series on Amazon, and she's even better here.

She was hands down the best part of the premiere.

Overall, Constellation is dark, gripping and incredibly unnerving. The scene with the dead body will leave you shaken. Where will the mystery go from here? What really happened on the space station? I don't have the answers to those questions, but I'm excited to find out. Have you already seen some of it? Let me know at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
