The whole web of mysteries is quite fun, even though a bit predictable in the actual twists. The whole philosophical part is frankly really basic, but also decently fun. What is missing is the human element, a bit of fun, some deep characters and some really engaging storylines. It's made this way on purpose because of the themes, of course, but still, I feel it's lacking. I mean, "that guy" shooting himself was powerful, but it instantly deflated because it didn't really mean anything. And that's just an example. And - jesus - too much exposition. Info dumps after info dumps with no elegance at all. They know it, they joke on it with the "show, don't tell" line, but that doesn't make it better. That being said, the production is amazing, the cast is great and I think this could be a good prologue to a much better second season.
