I haven't heard of this show, opened the article because the image and title intrigued me. First paragraph spoils the season one finale without any warning

I was about to get all huffy about the improbability that Proxima Centauri would blow up right when humans arrive. I had a long rant prepared, about science being sacrificed to dramatic plot devices. But then I googled it and it is 100% scientifically accurate! It isn’t a nova or anything, proxima just has super powerful solar flares. Proxima b really is habitable except for these destructive flares. Maybe the only inaccuracy is that we already know that, now. So colonists 100 years from now should, too.

Sounds like the Darien disaster in space.
