Competition (DIMX)

A woman emigrating to the frontier of inhabited space finds herself dumped on the wrong planet and involved in corporate espionage.

This show makes me sad (and not in a good way). The set up of a group of colonists being dumped on a single planet, instead of all the places they bought tickets for its good ... but it's a total red herring and has virtually nothing to do with the plot. So, that's just wasted time. The second setup of an ethical business genius who is outsmarting the whole herd of unethical bloodsucking moguls is great, and deftly handled right up to the point where it falls apart. The ending is just kind of pathetic. If it even makes sense, which I don't really think it does, it's fairly disappointing to me.
