What I liked

I liked the music, I liked the structure of the story, I liked that I learned something about Venus I didn’t know, I liked that at the end they died happy, in their terms.

What I didn't like

As I said, I liked the show. What could have made it a tiny bit better was Maria’s yelling when she got the part. Her excitement was good and some yelling and jumping makes sense, but that one yelling startled me.
I also did not understand why when he stepped outside there were there moaning sounds, mixed with heartbeat or maybe thunder sounds. Is that what Elon hears, or is what we the audience hear from being taken outside of the pod?

My overall impression

Great performance and great story! It has everything – important life lessons (read the fine print, spend time on what matters), some laughs, story twists and tragic moments. The actors’ performance was on point and the audio and visual effects brought everything home.
