Several months ago I saw the movie that this series was based upon.
It was on late night TV and portrayed how the main characters
first discover that they are on a ship and not a planet (which is
what they thought prior to their discovery). The movie starts with
a group of people who resemble Quakers in appearance and beliefs.
One of the characters falls in love with a woman who is to be married
in a prearranged wedding. For his indiscretion he is marked for
death. There is a power play between two of the
"elders" who lead the group. One is in control and claims to
hear the voice of the creator. The other is older and wiser and
also knows the secret of how to open the door to the outside 
which is forbidden territory to everone.
The charactor who is to be killed is helped by the wise elder
and escapes through the door. Now he is outside his environment
pod and and finds an information terminal which explains that this
is a ship and he should go to the "control room". He returns to
his pod with this information but no one believes his story, so
he takes his loved one and goes back into the ship only to be followed
by the man she has been promised to.
After some fighting the three of them make up and go on to explore
the rest of the ship.
I believe the name of the movie was "The Beginning".
