@dansup Is it any good? I wanted to watch it, but the reviews are pretty bad, and I haven't started it yet because of that.

@paul @dansup It’s definitely not good: wooden writing with lots of monologuing, wasted AAA acting talent, missed world-building opportunities.

But I still found it super compelling because next to nothing on popular science fiction grapples with the implications of climate change.

@bkeegan @paul Excuse me, it's amazing.

Seems like you missed the entire point, how can you claim those things but ignore the fact that the AAA talent and monologues played a crucial part.

This isn't a Marvel franchise, why you talking about 'world-building' when it's about the complete opposite?

Reviews like yours are misguided and detrimental to those you share them with, like can you not just appreciate something without complaining?

@paul @dansup Some truly terrible episodes (most notably the last one, which is so bad it makes you regret watching the entire show), but also some really good ones. I enjoyed watching it bar that last episode.

@hmans @paul I disagree, it was a great series and ended appropriately.

Just seems like some guys want a marvel-esque franchise with more episodes and "character development"

@dansup @paul That's a weird thing to take away from what I wrote, but okay.
