Currently halfway through and I just want to tell everybody already: Go check this out!!!

Edit: Just finished it. It's truly a remarkable series!
Beautiful CGI images, although the keen eye might occasionally spot some glitches and errors, it was truly eye candy most of the time. The story ending [spoiler] feels like the show might be going for some kind of super/genius heroes team,[/spoiler] but in a way that really makes you enthusiastic to see what more they are gonna do, after this epic first season story. Looking at the detective arc of the story, I incidentally saw Sherlock-genius schemes forming and was delighted to see this - although I missed much more than I could have thought - all came together in a marvelous way!
Also for the lovers of a good love story there is more than enough to enjoy. Containing numerous twists, brought in throughout the whole storyline. Giving you plenty enough of satisfaction, excitement and anticipation on this area...

There is plenty of more to find out than the above teasers, but then I would be actually spoiling a lot. Those are just some of the many reasons why you should watch it! ;-)

All concluded: A great new sci-fi [spoiler]hero[/spoiler] story, with much more up its sleeve than you would expect!

Decent TV show fight choreography. An interesting story. A sh*tty execution. I mean, people are spread on more than one planet, they can move experiences from one body to another and all you get is curved screens, tablets, and minor variations to Google's Material Design? I'd have appreciated to cut the fighting part off the show, and spend the money for a decent futuristic design. Or maybe that's why one guy is Kubrick and these ones are the guys with a canceled NetFlix show.

And, of course, the only sexual desires can be heterosexual. Women, on the other hand don't seem to be anything more refined than a simple accessory, unless they work for the Big Brother and they are protecting the safety of those who are the system.

As for the bad guys: Russians. You know, the minimal White courtesy of not sending you a brown person.

I would have also appreciated less Marxism, but it is a British writer and over there they don't conceive the World otherwise.

In the end, the main problem is the ending. It is very badly done. Each evil character is going to reveal and explain the plans like in the more ridiculed Hollywood movies. And the political agenda becomes obvious the only motivation for the series. I'd say skip the last two episodes, but that would mean to also lose the point of watching the rest of the series.

The only series I have watched a minimum of three times per year since it first aired.

This is partly because there are only two seasons, but mostly because I enjoy cyberpunk, sci-fi, the little details I pick up each time I watch, stories that tackle the human condition, and the overall idea behind the plot.

This will be by no means an in-depth review, even after years of watching it and its release, but if you are into any of my previously mentioned reasons for rewatching this so many times, you will enjoy the majority of season one.

And if you're a hopeless romantic, you'll also enjoy most of season two.

I've enjoyed this so much that I'm now reading the books, which have very different stories and time lines, and I love both equally at the moment.
