Any time you put Gwynne, Benson and Griffiths together you're going to have a heckuva program if the script's decent. (One of these days it would be intersting (and quite time consuming) to put together a spreadsheet matrix of which programs featured which actor working together with whichever scriptwriter. If I found, say, a Sam Dann script with those three guys that I hadn't heard I'd be on it like a bee on a flower.) This show reminded me of a depressing episode entitled "Tempests" which was the finale to one season of the 90s remakes of The Outer Limits TV show. In that show a spaceship captain kept drifting in from one reality to another, from a reality where he was delivering medicine to a dying planet, to another where parasitic, insectoid, mind-altering alien creatures had invaded his spaceship, to another where he was lauded as a hero for saving the aforementioned planet. This RMT episode was, fortunately, far less of a downer than that program.
