David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter described the season as "confidently acted" and described an "impressive confidence" to the storytelling, though did note that the show was "very male-centric" and questioned whether genre fans would be accustomed to the show's high body count. Asher Elbein of The Atlantic stated that the season "offers what is perhaps television's first good example of survival horror," stating that it plays with the trappings of the genre and pays careful attention to landscapes, resulting in "an overwhelming claustrophobia, even in the middle of a punishing void." On August 2, 2019, looking forward towards the premiere of the show's second season, Benjamin Lindsay of Rotten Tomatoes stated that viewers would be remiss to skip out on the program's first season before tuning into the second.
