    Enjoyed this a lot. It has flaws, but the main character development is very good and it has a couple of interesting twists.
    I was very surprised by all the bad reviews.

    I really liked this show, and am looking forward for season 2. I am also puzzled by the bad reviews, as it was all in all a very decent show.

    I could not stop watching this one. A true binge worthy show. Great cast of actors. I'm looking forward to season 2 as it was left with a cliff hanger.

    My wife and I really enjoyed the show. It developed a few characters pretty well, but those characters are all flawed, and some are empty souls, but such is modern life. It is slickly produced and has a good, and honestly believable, plot and interconnections. It definitely has good room to grow and develop for what will undoubtedly be at least one more season.

    Most of this first season is devoted to a murder investigation — a very drawn-out, repetitive and not at all mysterious murder investigation. It’s all dramatized and acted competently enough to hold your attention, but jeez, shouldn’t machine-enabled love be the focus here?

    It's solid and the season finale, packed with loose plot threads, will make you crave a second season. And in the grand scheme of Netflix original series, this one might linger in the memory for longer than expected, if only thanks to that premise — the power of a truly great "What if...?"
