Episode #1.1

Watching this episode, I slept twice, and I have to watch it again and again before I can watch the first episode. The story took many pieces to create a simple volt line,After the breakpoint, it is unknown. The only appreciation is the art and photographer's intentions. Very misleading

I was really hopeful going into this show, but after watching the first episode, that hope is gone. None of the characters are likeable. None of the characters are interesting. The "mystery" is SO vague it's boring. There is nothing in this first episode that makes me even a little interested in seeing the second one. "Mystery Box" stories are so overdone, and lead to inevitable disappointment. If the acting was good, or the dialogue, or if there had been even a TINY HINT as to why I should care about ANY of this, I might have kept watching. But the acting was flat, and the scenes were clunky, and the "mystery" is a total bore.

Before I go into the actual review, just a small "rant". I came here to see find info and found a single review giving it 4/10 by a cruise01 user.

First off, it is impossible to rate a TV show by a single, or even a couple, of episodes. So I feel a bit stupid by doing the same, but this cruise01 is so wrong about what he wrote that it merits a reply.

To cut to the chase, cruise01 is bad reviewing for the sake of bad reviewing. Not only that, he gave spoilers without tagging his/her review accordingly.

It is very common nowadays for YTer wannabes go trashing things left and right just because, think about cancel culture mixed with a need to "say something". I really can't tell for sure tho, as it is always very difficult to make sense of nonsense.

What I do can tell is that this series will probably NOT be bad. If anything, it might fail only due to being very ambitious. The very first episode is touching timeless philosophical questions, and bringing in quantum computing into the mix.

Do we live in a Laplacian Universe? Does everything has a cause? If everything has a cause, is there freewill? If there is no freewill, can you be accountable by your actions?

Take cruiser01's review for instance. Was it a product of random typing, or cause-consequence relationship between ignorance and cheap internet availability?

The theme surrounding freewill and moral choices is rehearsed at the very first episode, and the project with the "quantum computer" (which seems to be a sort of super quantum computer) seems to be at the heart of everything.

No doubt a quantum computer is a very curious thing. Right when we know everything is essentially indeterminate by the Uncertainty principle, we use just that to build a deterministic machine.

But I should notice that the way a quantum machine works is a matter of engineering, even though the show wants to explore this concept and its relationship with those philosophical questions.

Let us see how things evolve. Right now I give it a 9 because I really enjoyed the first episode for these reasons: very solid acting, good scenery, the theme is interesting (something lacking nowadays), oh and no "quantum" shenanigans while still validly talking about it.

I watched Ex Machina and really enjoyed it, hope to see similar content here.

Another never ending meaningless load of drivel only fit for children. This is neither intelligent or thought provoking - shame as his other works are excellent.

So far so good on the story. I've always found quantum theories and realities interesting. I can't imagine how much infrastructure would be required for a quantum computer, but the premise is worth a ponder or two. The acting was good as well. I only have one complaint after the first episode and that is...

TURN THE GD MUSIC DOWN FOR CHRIST SAKE. Whomever thought it would be a good idea to blast that annoying whateveritis at 125db should be forced to listen to it with headphones for 24 hours at Spinal Tap 11.
