Flat characters, lazy writing, and terrible pacing make this a total waste of a solid premise. Greg Daniels has made some great shows - this isn't one of them.

There are a handful of visual gags in each episode, but only a couple good jokes in the whole season. The characters are cartoonishly simple, with no depth at all, and the decisions they make are often nonsensical - just hamfistedly pushing the story along.

There's some light sci-fi appeal in the potential bugs that might come with a virtual afterlife, but it's a grab-bag of random ideas that don't fit together as a logical whole. If you've ever seen an episode of Black Mirror and thought, "I don't get it", this might be more your speed.

Oh and there's a clumsy murder-mystery that never gets resolved, a handful of hamfisted sermons about the evils of class stratification, and a super-funny-so-hilarious episode-long joke about how skinny jeans are soooooo tight.

I don't understand how this show got on the air, much less how it's so highly rated.… Expand

A go-nowhere knockoff of The Good Place with a sci-fi VR twist. Pilot was passable but just went downhill after that with a serious lack of tone, humor or direction. Avoid.

Une idée de départ intéressante servie bien sûr par de jolis effets numériques mais le bât blesse fréquemment dans cette série dont l'écriture bêbête, volontiers niaise à ses moments se laisse aller à la facilité de l'humour imbécile tropUne idée de départ intéressante servie bien sûr par de jolis effets numériques mais le bât blesse fréquemment dans cette série dont l'écriture bêbête, volontiers niaise à ses moments se laisse aller à la facilité de l'humour imbécile trop souvent (in)digne de la sitcom débile de base la plus basique (mais il manque les rires enregistrés, cependant !).

Et pourtant, on sent une volonté satirique certes bienvenue et parfois ou plutôt rarement, trop rarement drolatique des travers bien connus des jeux vidéo à microtransactions prédatrices et autres joyeusetés à péage... mais c'est si rare que ça retombe dans le train-train du simple "divertissement" superficiel qui manque à la fois de nerf et de mordant.

D'ailleurs, bien que les épisodes ne soient qu'au nombre de 10 et dépassent (rarement) la demi-heure, l'ennui pointe rapidement son museau rébarbatif alors que vient s'ajouter une bêtise de plus en plus alarmante... Je mets 1 quand même pour l'effort.… Expand

This show has a fun and interesting premise. But nothing about it works, except the bellboy assistant ai...sometimes. This whole show feels like a bad hallmark movie meets a bad Sci fi Network original. Everything feels cheap, especiallyThis show has a fun and interesting premise. But nothing about it works, except the bellboy assistant ai...sometimes. This whole show feels like a bad hallmark movie meets a bad Sci fi Network original. Everything feels cheap, especially the script...and the acting and directing. Few of the endless gags and "jokes" are even marginally funny. And never clever. Which is bizarre given the fantastic possibilities of this premise. The characters and plot points are so incredibly poorly written and ill conceived, and things are forced endlessly in order to ensure that great plot points occur that are never earned.

Also, it borrows its intros from Silicon Valley--a far superior show. It also is reminiscent at times of MANIAC on Netflix, which is a clearly superior show as well by lightyears.

Nothing in this show works. The only reason you might watch it is the premise and the hope that it might get better one day. But it NEVER does. It will let you down in most every way.… Expand
