Featured review
I didn't expect to like this series at all, but decided to watch it as it has the same lead actor as "Psychopath Diary". I wasn't disappointed and found this show entertaining.
This show has a relatively unique plot (similar to "Tunnel" or "Signal" but this time across universes). Unlike the American "Fringe" which also deals with multiple universes, this series stays very human and character-driven, and doesn't go off into a technical apocalyptic dystopia like so many US shows.
The lead character cast is strong and their performances are outstanding.
I like how they made the point of little decisions, when accumulated, leading us on vastly different life paths.
The show does suffer from a few unfortunate tropes though:
Overall, an excellent experience which could have been made much tighter by eliminating 90% of repetitions.

The show does suffer from a few unfortunate tropes though:
- Endless flashback to literally the same memories, and overlapping episode endings/beginnings. I found myself becoming good friends with the "skip" button. There's probably a few episodes worth of literally 100% repeated footage.
- The standard thriller tricks of a character going to explore abandoned buildings at night, in the dark, after learning that the armed criminal is there, without telling anyone where they're going or asking for backup. This cliche appears so much because that's what normal humans apparently do, right?
- A bit over-dramatic for my tastes at times. These endless hard stares, criminals monologuing for minutes on end before pressing the trigger, protagonists turning their backs on wounded enemies to cry and hug so the enemies could attack them again or escape, statements full of pathos, it's all here.
Overall, an excellent experience which could have been made much tighter by eliminating 90% of repetitions.
