How it feels

A crew travels to Mars on a mission in the near future. The series mixes science fiction with mystery and mysticism and does not wrap up its story neatly.

What happens

Missions (French pronunciation: [misjɔ̃] ) is a French science-fiction television series first broadcast in 2017. Set in the near future, it depicts a mission to the planet Mars. Missions was created by Ami Cohen, Henri Debeurme and Julien Lacombe and produced by Empreinte Digitale of Paris. It was first broadcast in June 2017 on the French pay-TV channel OCS, released on the Shudder streaming service in September 2017, and broadcast free-to-air on Britain's BBC Four in May 2018. The first series has ten 26-minute episodes that were as short as 20 minutes when aired by the BBC without intervening adverts. The first series is a mixture of science fiction, adventure and mysticism and does not draw to a self-contained conclusion. Series 2 of Missions was scheduled to start filming in 2018, co-produced by Empreinte Digitale and by Shudder's parent company, AMC Networks. It was released in 2019. Series 3 consisted of ten episodes and was launched in 2021. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
