Interesting concept, boring show. I'm really not sure what else to say. But 4 episodes in, and we've had 120 minutes of bland characters, non-stop walking and talking without any clear purpose or tension.

A mediocre movie for once. Bad Russians, good transvestites, a strong and independent woman. Everything is as the progressive generation likes

It has some good-looking moments, but also others that are very ridiculous and boring. And, god, it's really confusing. It's hard to keep up with all those characters coming out of nowhere. We need another good sci-fi show to replace Westworld!

She stars as a no-nonsense southern gal with the looks the director and DP won't let you forget, but with the action capacity to layout a room full of hostiles despite her 5.4-ft, 110-lb frame. Look, this is a good series, some of the fight-action is clearly over the top but the story, the tech, and the supporting cast of guys is good. Yes, the women are clearly the leads in this with Flynne (Chloe) as our main protag, her best friend Billy Ann who can shoot, Aelita West the one that gets them all in trouble to begin with and Cherise who's manipulating events from the future, yes the future. The other guys in this are supporting so in 2022 it's a woman's world and guys are lucky to have a token, demeaning role. But like I said, the story is good, it's got a good scifi time travel element that'll make you wonder. And the final scene of the finale is wacked enough to make you want a S02 now instead of a year or two, if it's even renewed, because that's the fkt up state of streaming tv we're in now, it's more likely your favorite shows are cancelled than renewed and you get to wait 12-24 months to see if you get another paltry 8eps.… Expand

Starts out well enough, but the sci-fi world is PRETENTIOUS and becomes impossible to follow while the real world is fake FOLKSY enough to make you sick.

Add in the fact that average people use the F-word like a steady stream during normalStarts out well enough, but the sci-fi world is PRETENTIOUS and becomes impossible to follow while the real world is fake FOLKSY enough to make you sick.

Add in the fact that average people use the F-word like a steady stream during normal conversation and the whole thing starts to become pretty unbearable as the show progresses.

The sci-fi is pretty good, but it's just too big of a headache to try and follow. Not that it's too smart for the audience, but it tries too hard to appear smart.… Expand
