Featured reviews
Actors are great, scenes art some kind of art show yet episode was painful to watch because of all the messages that was hidden in the dialogs and inside of Owen's head. This many unsolved and not-understandable info, is actually chaotic and exhausting. At some poiint it felt like I see the world from the Owen's schizophrenic mind.
I love this off-beat new show. Make sure to allow yourself time to adapt from what we normally see from these 2 main actors. If it seems boring, maybe it's not for you. Jonah Hill looks like he put a lot of himself in this show.
I have no idea where this is going, but Jonah Hill and Emma Stone have sold me on the series already. Rock solid acting by both who are playing against type.
I like that this science fiction series is rooted in character and small technological changes. Its world could very easily be our world. No over the top gadgets, just subtle differences.
Looking forward to episode 2.
This episode is slow and boring, however, it's somewhat necessary in order to build up the audiences relationship with Owen (Jonah Hill), yes it could've been paced a lot better but I think the writers and Fukunaga are trying to accurately represent Owen's state of mind through this episode. The show DOES pick up and gets a lot more exciting with a unique and compelling emotional story, please stick with it - it's worth it
This show is refreshing, it's a nice level of being creative & original while still keeping great storytelling, developments & human characters , its rated high but i haven't seen it mentioned much
has connectable characters , nice use of color & a warmth to it , has some nice sets and shots , jonah hill fits great as owen being a melancholic relatable character. It has adventure mixed with intrigue but grounded with some human depth, amazing soundtrack that fits well, a unique retro futurism vibe, some sad moments some strange moments & some wholesome moments. It stays interesting with its plot device & i was invested in the characters
This is the type of show that could possibly help lift someone out of a down state for a time and give a re-connection boost. Was a breath of fresh air starting in relatable place . I think this is one of the greats that seemed to slip by many.
