Who watched SciFi's Ascension?

It's a 6 episode mini series on SciFi. So far they've shown 3 of the 6. The premise:

Quote:

Ascension is inspired by the real-life Project Orion that existed under the administration of President John F. Kennedy.[3] The show sets up an alternate version of reality in which, in 1963, President Kennedy and the U.S. government, fearing the Cold War will become hot and lead to the destruction of the Earth, decided to launch a covert space mission. They sent 350 voluntary men, women and children into space on a century-long voyage aboard the USS Ascension, a massive, self-sustaining generation ship. Their mission is to colonize Proxima Centauri,[4] assuring the survival of the human race. At 51 years into the journey (i.e. in the present), as they approach the point of no return, the mysterious murder of a young woman – the first homicide since their departure[5] – causes the ship's crew to question the true nature of their mission
