There is a new show coming to Netflix, and just like MOST of the Netflix originals that the streaming giant is pumping out, this show looks AMAZING!!

In Away, Hilary Swank plays an astronaut commander who is going to take a groundbreaking trip to mars aboard a spaceship.

There is a catch (of course). It is a three-year mission, so she has to leave her daughter and husband here on earth, while she travels on the very first mission to Mars and back.

Think about the last three years in your life. A LOT can happen in three years! Now, imagine you aren’t here to handle ANY of it, and you just have to hear about it remotely. I would be a wreck! I don’t think I could do it.

Or, you can think about it the other way. Say you are left here for three years, and your SO has to go off somewhere for THREE years, on a perilous mission. You can’t have access to them, except maybe a phone transmission once in a while. I know I would be SICK with anxiety!!

Thus begins the show, Away. Hilary Swank — er, Emma Green — is about to leave for three years in space, which means she is about to miss out on three years of her teenage daughter’s life, three years with her husband, three years of normalcy.

“It’s only three years.”

“Just remember, the further away I get, I’m actually getting closer to being back to you.”

Away is set to premiere September 4th on Netflix with ten new episodes, and I am so ready!!

I was beginning to think I had gotten to the end of Netflix. Ha! I’m so excited to have something new to watch!

See the trailer for Away below.

If you are looking for a fun guilty pleasure to watch before Away gets here, you have to check out Cobra Kai. It does NOT disappoint.
