What a wonderful sci-fi series with another sublime Chloë Grace Moretz, that's a winner . Also working on the 3rd season of 'Travelers', 2 series in kind of the same vein. Although this is even more sci-fi feel, but really in the strongest possible way. Also just visually very beautiful. I give full marks for this.

I was all a bit disappointed, but had to let it sink in to find out why. The plot is all a bit needlessly confusing and complex, with an abundance of self-invented futuristic-sounding terms, but that must all be part of that kind of sci-fi.

It's the characters that I have problems with. The most boring characters, albeit without any charisma, are like the central leads (Flynne & Wilf). Those who revolve around that are a bit more interesting and the smaller supporting roles are the ones who would make it great, but who don't get enough. This is because of course, as with all modern series, 5 plot lines have to run together. The cool characters appear early but disappear (Aelita), appear very late in the series (Lowbeer) or actually only participate for an episode and a half ([spoiler= 367013]hitman Bob). As a result, I often hoped that the bullshit of the central figures would be over as quickly as possible so that a more interesting figure would come into the picture and that seems to me to be the wrong experience for a series.

Another small downside was that we are looking at figures in a futuristic future that end up in an even more futuristic future. In terms of contrast, I found that rather meaningless.
