Anyway, the ending to the last episode was an interesting turn of events. I hope he does turn out to be the calculating, smooth talker you mentioned.

I dont know how many Sci-fi Series are out there with the Heroes having a criminal record just for doing the right thing.

I am not yet sure. I like the plot, the characters don't seem bad either. I enjoyed the first 3 episodes except for one thing:
I seriously disliked the battle in Episode 2. It was terribly staged in my opinion. Like they shoot "enemys" who look like that have been standing behind them for like 5 minutes without fireing a shot. Or... well there is a huge troop of armored soldiers... what do These People do? all come out of their cover (the first Encounter between the miners and the soldiers).

As Sci Fi fans, we have to accept that well done effects are expensive, and that we won't see them. That doesn't have to mean that we can't enjoy the story being told.
The FTL effects look cheesy as heck to me. Sorta like a sideways Millenium Falcon. Doesn't detract from my enjoyment of the show. The longest running Sci Fi franchise in history, Doctor Who has never had more than bargain basement effects. Still one of the best sci fi shows ever.

As long as they get to interact with outside forces (starbases, corporations, ...), it may get more interesting. But if the main focus of the show will be the 'drama and intrigue' between the characters on the ship, I'm not sure I'll enjoy it much. (Funnily that's the opposite situation from SGU, there I was generally more content with Destiny-based episodes.)
So far I struggled to believe the more serious, dramatic aspects of the show. But as soon as they diverted my attention with comedic scenes and some world-building (4th episode, specifically), I enjoyed the show far more.
As far as VFX go, I think Dark Matter has ones of the best. But they're very dark, rather realistic and colorless, which is what may irk a lot of people. (They come off as a little bland in that regard.)

I'm not quite sure yet. I don't love it,but I don't hate it either. It seems a little disappointing to me. It's kind of generic. Two things bother me about Dark Matter. First, is this idea that they have to cater to what they consider to be a "Young" crowd. I'm by no means old,but it seems that a wide spectrum should be represented. It tries to hard to be hip and edgy. Secondly, there's not much concept. This is more like a lower type of sci-fi. It takes place in space and has cool tech. The Stargate franchise was so much better. There was high concept, science,good characters. This is why it earned the position of being one of the best science fiction series on television. When I compare Stargate and Dark Matter, it's hard to believe that the same people are involved with the two. Sci-Fi can be fun and exciting as well as conceptual. Look at Star Trek as another example. I'm kind of losing hope in sci- fi tv programming.

Surly old curmudgeons like myself have pretty much decided what we need and have either acquired it already or realized that it is forever out of our reach for whatever reason.
It is very hard to sell something to someone like me, so the advertisers want the easier targets, the youngsters.
