This is an opus to love told in an unusual and unpredictable fashion, sometimes moving quickly and at other times, meandering even as it jumps back and forth in time and place. Nothing seems connected until everything is.
Lessons in Chemistry mirrors the unpredictability of science and mires it in hope and faith. Eventually, hopefully, it will teach you to understand that you have to embrace change.
There are parts that are properly painful; lots that is unfair; there are unrequited feelings and yet plenty to be joyful for.
This is a love story with love on the sidelines and almost never there even if it always is. Lovely.

Season 2 is a gut punching, soul stirring rollercoaster of a ride down some dystopian rabbit hole. It lets up every now and again only so you can catch your breath and calm down enough to build some affinity with what you realise are just everyday heroes and heroins. What would you do yourself when faced with some extreme scenarios? Everyone comes from behind time and again and from their other lives too to discover what they might not have even been searching for. Love. Friendship. Self-preservation. Dignity. Honour. Its all there written into the plot and infused repeatedly through games without hope. They've really taken this second season and dialled it up to 11. Riveting.
Justice. Freedom. Likely words that do not resonate because we take these privileges for granted. What price would we pay however to attain this? It is not something one can easily fathom. The show does not start out like its about a fight for freedom but it surely gets there. However, it is not at all like how you would expect it.
If you took a long wind up, anyone could see you setting up for a punch. Yet here, there is a frenetic pace that keeps you engaged and riveted and you would not have realised you were about to get hit. It must be misdirection because you just wouldn't be prepared.
But you know you've been got because you will want to root for justice late in this show. Brilliant. Scorching. Gut wrenching.
