I watched the YouTube trailer. Didn't see anything to indicate any of
the show was going to involve space travel. The spaceship to Saturn bit
looked like a corporate "we're going to do this" PR piece, not something
that had actually been done.

If it had looked like they were going off-planet I would consider
checking the show out but based on what I saw, nope.
