Youtube has just released a new series called 'Origin', which they've fully produced themselves for Youtube Premium. The first two episodes are available to watch for free, while you need a Youtube Premium subscription (€11.99) to watch the remainder of the first season. 

Origin is a science-fiction drama made by the producers of The Crown and Lost. It follows a group of people  aboard a space ship that's travelling to a distant planet. During this journey they encounter a slew of problems which affect the lives of everybody on board of the spaceship.

### Worth Watching or Not? 
I've finished the entire first season, because I already had a subscription to Youtube Premium. I have to say that I've thoroughly enjoyed watching every episode. I'm a really big fan of almost anything science-fiction related, so this series was right up my alley. 

I'm not saying that you should just get a Youtube Premium membership, just to be able to watch this series. I don't think this series alone is worth the €11.99, but the other [perks](https://www.youtube.com/premium?ybp=EhRGRXJlZF9vcmlnaW5hbHNfaG9tZSILEglvcmlnaW5hbHM%253D) you receive do make it something to think about. 

Some of the story lacked a little bit of depth towards the end, but this was certainly mitigated due to the great cast. You might recognize Tom Felton (Malfoy in Harry Potter) and Natalia Tena (Tonks in Harry Potter), which both were excellent in their roles. 

I definitely didn't feel like I've wasted my time watching this, it kept me very entertained up until the last episode. If you enjoy science-fiction, you might really enjoy Origin too. 

### Quality Production
I was pleasantly surprised at the high production values. I know that everyone's very eager to bash on Youtube when they do something wrong, they do **a lot** of things wrong, but releasing this series isn't one of those things. 

If they're going to add more series like this one to the Youtube Premium package, then I think they might finally be able to compete with other streaming services like Netflix and Hulu. That's still a long ways away though...
