No 'one' single thing makes this movie stand out. It is a combination of seemingly little things that makes this movie stand out. Was a little sceptic to watch this movie set in a rustic set up. But, then decided to take a chance. And I was glued like a moth to light. At times it did feel stretched. But, it didn't feel stagnant though.

It left with me a gooey feeling with characters finding meaning in little things and nostalgia. The small little things as I said at the start kept the movie going. If you are looking for a solid plot with a lot of action or twists - you are likely to be disappointed.

It is a little like the movie 'Manchester by Sea'. A slow burn which takes the time to unravel things at its pace.

Definitely a one time watch.

This show is a visual treat. There was a lot of investment in graphics/animation, backdrops, photography etc. And it clears shines here.

The story telling, however, is a plain bad. Random events happen in different parts of the world in each episode. They do not come together to form a cohesive story though. This makes the audience to tune out.

It is surprising that someone thought - riding on the back of a popular series with cool graphics is a success recipe without investment in story writing. This first season will go down as a failed attempt even when the huge budget was spend on production.
