About "Dark Matter"

In one of his interviews, the Canadian spoke about his participation in this fantastic project,where the viewer is invited to watch the characters traveling through space on an abandoned ship. So:

• Mark Bendavid liked the Dark Matter script the first time he read it.
• The actor compares the characters of the film with an unfriendly family, each of whose members has its own shortcomings and secrets. Nevertheless, these people, being in difficult conditions, still try to interact with each other, despite the differences.
• As an actor in the television series "Dark Matter", Mark Bendavid notes that his character One is the conscience of the collective. The first, according to him, despite the fact that he practically does not understand anything, takes on the role of a spiritual leader, which is not surprising, because he has an innate sense of justice.
• According to the actor, the plot of "Dark Matter" is structured in such a way that at the end of each episode of this project, a certain question is answered. This, according to Bendavid, distinguishes it for the better from similar series, where the veil of secrecy is lifted only in the final episodes.

The Canadian, although he does not consider himself a great connoisseur of science fiction, is sure that the "Dark Matter" project has all the elements that make it a quality science fiction film: explosions, visual effects, fights.
