Moonhaven

Matt Roush says...

Those who prefer their science fiction to be more deliberative, even pretentious, may have their patience tested by this ponderous mash-up of faux utopian world-building and galactic crime drama. Lost alum Dominic Monaghan is a wry standout as Detective Paul Sarno, tasked with partner Arlo Noon (A Different World’s Kadeem Hardison) to solve a very rare murder within the Eden-esque bubble of Moonhaven, an AI-controlled lush paradise on the Moon whose community seeks solutions to the apocalyptic mess down on Earth. The arrival of cynical pilot Bella Swan (Emma McDonald) is destined to send the investigation into overdrive.
