Good things about this: The fight scenes were cool, especially the one with the motorbikes. It's also an interesting perspective on human cloning and genetic manipulation in the hands of the wrong people, although zero reference to ethics. Fast paced, which was good because the dialogue was lame in many places, and the action saved us from it.

Not so good things: It was heavy on the CGI which felt like watching a lengthy video game on the couch (to be fair, I was on the couch). Even the shooting style felt like gaming in many places. The script was not great, felt laboured and overly stating the obvious. Mind you, considering most people are probably doomscrolling while watching this then it's perfect for that audience. The clone CGI was not always convincing but I guess this was shot 6 years ago now. But cool to see the Fresh Prince making a reappearance lol!

Net net: probably wouldn't bother if I had to pay to see it but it was ok for a Friday night on Netflix.

And that's not a bad thing! Sure the story is a little weak, but the real estate/decor and fashions are fabulous. No one expected this to be nominated for outstanding drama series, and I suspect there's a lot of Kimmy K haters scoring on here too. There's far worse things lurking over on Netflix with zero script and alot of shagging that warranted very low scores.

I watched this recovering from a major surgery and honestly, it was perfect for non-mentally taxing viewing when you can't really move from the couch and don't have the attention span for your day job. .

It's inoffensive and great to look at.
