The series as a whole maintains a highly visceral, surreal, and depressive atmosphere.
Besides the surreal body horror and creature design, the series deals with multiple psychological and existential themes, which may prove to be too heavy for some viewers.
Numerous major characters die throughout the series, often in harrowing or violent ways.
The flora and fauna of planet Vesta, as depicted in the series, is highly alien, and many of the creatures the crew encounters could be frightening or bizarre in both appearance and behavior.
The narrative of the show frequently crosses into psychological / body horror territory, with many disturbing sequences and themes touched upon.
