Anyone?

Not usually a sci-fi fan but this hasn't got superheroes in it, which is a plus.

Two episodes in. Bit weird, but I have to say I'm hooked. Acting a bit hit and miss. Not sure where it's going, but I'll stick with it.

Stephen Graham being in it might help.

Just on episode 2, bit odd.

The thing that’s annoying me is all the futuristic beeping and flashing in the future, I really hope it’s not like that.

Amazed me that so many people had record players hehe

I suppose so. It’s a good story, very well executed but just a bit all over the shop at times. I liked Weissmans character.

Made it through the first one and won't be watching the rest. It's a bit weird, grim in places and not really engaging. Don't really care enough about any of the characters to be bothered with it.

We’ve just finished the final episode.

Overall a reasonable watch, but nothing outstanding.

Ditched it halfway through Ep3.

Getting too weird and not holding my attention enough.

Just finished the final episode and have to say I really enjoyed it, thought it was great.

But I am a sucker for time-travel stuff with lots of time-lines etc.hehe

Can understand it wouldn't be everone's cup of tea. smile

On Ep4 now which seems to be warming up. Had to fast-forward past the poofery though.

Yes, that bit grates with me too. Writers are almost duty bound to include a bit nowadays.

One bit that annoyed me was 1940's cars with what were obviously LED or xenon headlights. Tint of blue instead of the dull yellow they should have been.
Great otherwise though,if a bit woke.

I've never seen a series that succeeds in ticking every inclusivity and diversity box.

Future corpse has been shot in the eye she says. What with, a BB gun? We all know from the gratuitous violence shown in American films that the back of his head would be absent.

And another thing, the girl in the seat of the old car, Esther, who he chloroformed and pretended to shoot, she said "can I get a slug?"!

"Can I get"? In 1940s Britain? Did Starbucks arrive much earlier than I thought?

My wife likes it, but I'm sure I will find plenty more to get grumpy about. It's fortunate that I enjoy science fiction.
