The series "Mars" created by Ron Howard, a Hollywood whale, cannot be that bad, neither in concept, nor in execution. Model-class beauty as a crew commander also helps. Quadcopter-type drone flying on the surface of Mars is an absurdity. In full compliance with current media censorship code, the red stars of the Russian VVS were digitally retouched from the rescue helos in the documentary part. Series are heavily influenced by Stephen Petranek, Elon Musk's PR man and master plagiarist.

They also freely borrow from Andy Weir and his "Martian" but he was co-author of a script and must be familiar with the Byzantine corridors of Hollywood. I suppose his copyright lawyers already worked out a fat settlement out of R. H.
