    This series is a very difficult case.
    It all looks great and the setting is immediately reminiscent of the 1982 film.
    But I have problems with the content. The main character is still very colorless to me after episode 1. She lacks that special touch. So far, the plot has been trotting leisurely and has not yet had any highlights. I hope that the series will get more momentum soon,    This series is a very difficult case.

    Having seen three of the 13 episodes, this "Blade Runner" feels like a missed opportunity. And to paraphrase a certain cynical cop from the original, it's too bad if the show doesn't live, but then again, who does?

    Blade Runner Black Lotus amounts to a worthy addition to the Blade Runner series that’s as much of an entertaining individual story on its own as it is a prequel further embellishing the groundwork for the world glimpsed in Blade Runner 2049.

    The main issue with Blade Runner: Black Lotus is that there isn’t really a compelling hook here aside from the Blade Runner bit in the title. It’s a competently assembled tie-in to the larger mythology, but, at least in these early episodes, it’s not clear if there’s much to it beyond that.
