The writing is shit, the acting is shit, plot is kinda intriguing but turns to shit.

9 stars from me. I loved this series much more than the first episodes had me expecting. Some people seem to be fairly confused as to what the point of this series was. Without saying too much, I'll say this, which might steer you in the right direction: if you were to force a label on me, I'd have to say I'm "agnostic", and yet this show was still great for me.

Pretty good, especially early on. Seems like the story was padded to achieve 8 episodes, could've easily been fully executed in 6 or less. Some really good concepts between all the filler. Towards the end of the final episode there was a random 'group-dance' scene that didn't make a whole lot of sense -- like the dancing could impart the antagonist with sudden mental health, but they forgot to tell us about that side effect in all those episodes before. An assumption on my part, as there wasn't a clear explanation of the purpose of the flashdance. Extensive use of a dual-timeline, more than I would've liked. My favorite parts by far were everything with Phyllis Smith from "The Office (US)"... ;-)

Do yourself a favour, don't waste your time on this. It's a perfect example of all sizzle no steak. The show starts off weak then eventually hints at a decent mystery which you expect will come to some satisfying conclusion, but as the season reaches its crescendo More

10/10 This is the best show I have ever seen. When I saw it back in December 2016 I didn't even know what it was about. I just started, because the cover looked intriguing. I fell in love after episode 1. I love the vulnerability and the honesty. It is clever, smart, emotional and extra ordinary More

Wow. I loved this. Particularly the second series. The first was very good but very disturbing and I felt very uneasy watching it. The whole thing was really clever and really well done. So difficult not to binge as at the end of every episode you feel a step closer to understanding the meaning of e More

This was my favorite TV show. I'm very sad that they canceled it. It's about parallel worlds and very interesting and tense. After watching any episode it will leave you with the desire to immediately watch another one. Acting is great. I'm a big fan of Brit Marling and she definitely delivers high More
