Nightflyers is an American horror science fiction television series that premiered on Syfy in the United States on December 2, 2018, and on Netflix, internationally on February 1, 2019.
[6] The series started its production in early 2018 on location in Limerick, Ireland, and also at the Limerick-based Troy Studios, with Daniel Cerone serving as the showrunner.
The website's critical consensus reads: "Unsettling without being particularly scary, Nightflyers's low-budget aesthetics and over-reliance on homage betray its intriguing philosophical pondering and impressive creative pedigree".
Club was disappointed that the show does not do more to upend genre conventions the way Game of Thrones successfully did, writing, "The showrunner Jeff Buhler doesn’t quite know how to make it feel new again".
McLevy praised the show for its "appealing visual style" despite budgetary limitations, and of the acting cast, he singled out Maya Eshet, "who elevates every scene in which she appears".
