Nightflyers' marvelous portrayal of being haunted by the past, is vividly seen in its characters' subplots

What is brilliant about the current plot is its character-based subplots, which also beautifully portray the role influences from the past can play in an individual's storyline

Creating an on-screen adaptation of a story that has already been told before is a tough job to do, especially considering all the expectations the latest version has to live up to. But SyFy's new show 'Nightflyers' owns that area, like a boss.

We have already certified the new series adaptation of George R. R. Martin's famous novella of the same name to be a vastly improved version compared to its 1987 film adaptation; however, that is not the only underlying context of being-influenced-by-the-past that's working in the new show's plotline.
