There are performers made for certain types of roles and then there is Noomi Rapace. After her time in the Millennium and Alien saga, the Swede has become the archetype for heroines with one foot on earth and one in space, forced to go through a whole series of physical, emotional and mental inclemencies. Ergo, the protagonist of Constellación (Apple TV+) appeals to the most logical casting choice in the entire universe with the native of Hudiksvall. “I guess it had to be Noomi and no one else,” said Peter Harness, the creator of the imminent fiction, directed by Michelle MacLaren, and who precisely asks about issues that have to do with the universe and logic.
The first three episodes, out of a total of eight, can be seen from Wednesday the 21st on the streaming platform that has stood out in the science fiction genre (For All Mankind, Foundation, Invasion, Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, Silo) and now it will have its own serial version of Interstellar.
Rapace herself said she understood why Johanna Ericsson had been written for her. Here she plays a Swedish astronaut who returns to Earth after a disaster on the international space station and discovers that her life down here is no longer the same. Five weeks after that event she escaped with her daughter to a Scandinavian forest, she has visions of her and spends her time listening to cassettes in which colleagues claim that “the earth is in the wrong place.” Is there a huge conspiracy about what happened beyond the stratosphere? Did Jo return to another reality? Or does the explanation lie in the most mundane post-traumatic stress?
Her well-meaning husband (James D’Arcy) is one of those who clings to this last possibility. But who can give him another answer is Henry Caldera (Jonathan Banks). A consultant for a robotics laboratory convinced that matter can be altered in space, the problem is how to manage its effects. During his days as an astronaut, he also thought he “saw something” and is now convinced that his experiment could change our understanding of the universe as we know it. More than the quantum complexity implicit in the story, the great challenge for the Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul actor was to erase Mike Ehrmantraut from the cosmos (and he succeeds).
With its fair share of space horror and conspiracy, Constellation revolves around the two satellites played by Rapace and Banks. Jo, then, is lost in space and on earth. And, even if they don’t know it, so does the rest. Enigmatic device, with several time lanes and anchored in an unreliable narrator, but tied to basic issues such as the love between a mother and her daughter.
The story, fortunately, does not lose its orbit unlike what happens to Jo’s psyche. Both visually and in its dialogues, the series inhabits a dark, experimental gray area, which always leaves room for doubt and a strange somber enjoyment. The trigger for Constellation was an experience experienced by its screenwriter during a vacation in a Swedish forest. From his cabin, every night he heard a desperate girl scream for her mother. He was never able to find her nor did he know who she was. “That stuck in my head, and somehow it ended up colliding with this space mystery,” Harness said.
