I looked at it according to the chronological order. Find it makes no sense at all otherwise.
VIOLET: 24 YEARS BEFORE THE HEIST
GREEN: 7 YEARS BEFORE THE HEIST
YELLOW: 6 WEEKS BEFORE THE HEIST
ORANGE: 3 WEEKS BEFORE THE HEIST
BLUE: 5 DAYS BEFORE THE HEIST
WHITE: THE HEIST
RED: THE MORNING AFTER THE HEIST
PINK: 6 MONTHS AFTER
The production value on this is visablly fucking insane. What a gorgeous show.
And with only 2 episodes out I am already hooked like haven't been by a show in a long time.
EDIT after full first season:
Damn, I'm disappointed right now. It started off so well with the first episode. But with each passing episode it felt more like two different shows. One on Trantor about Empire. Which was fucking amazing science fiction and mesmerizing to watch. But also one on Terminus about the Foundation itself. Which felt like a cheap SyFy spinoff in the same universe. Very bizarre.
Still an entertaining watch throughout but it could have been so much better.
BTW. I haven't read the books.
It's OK -- they bought the rights to the concept and butchered the original 2012 Swedish version, appropriately titled 'Real' Humans ( https://trakt.tv/shows/real-humans ) - "Äkta Människor". It wasn't adapted from a book, the creator (Lars Lundström) developed it as an original screenplay for Swedish television: www.svt.se/akta-manniskor/
The original was outstanding, both seasons -- by the end of the 1st season of the remake, there isn't anything from the original plot -- it's been simplified and homogenized. The original, with English subtitles, can be found on Vimeo. As they've completely changed the story, no need to worry about spoilers... ;-)

I'm trying to understand why these shows are being produced. I understand Netflix is trying to capture a younger audience, using modern music with historic settings. But please, can Netflix also invest into a better script!
Syfy where all good ideas go to die.
Wow, it has Sam Neil and a Plot which can go in either direction.
This is either going to be awesome or total crap...
I am all for this kind of stuff - going into space, colonization, living among the stars and I hope to witness this when it happens. But I am very much on the fence with this show. maybe my expectations were too high. The concept of the show is good as is the execution. The documentary parts are very informative and insightful. Then there is the scripted part that is all about dramatization. And most of it is due to illogical decisons of the characters. The science isn´t waterproof and I felt there are a lot of plot holes. One thing this shows, and I´m not sure if intentional or by accident, is that humans will stay humans. They take their structures and hierachies with them no matter where they go.
After 4 episodes: The visuals are unexpectedly beautiful but it suffers quite a lot from typical teen drama bs. But the fantasy world seemes interesting enough for me to keep watching.
Read the book, if the series is only half as good it will be awesome, can't wait.
Really interesting documentary.
Both sides of the conflict are well highlighted and the escalating problems and the size of the cult are almost unbelievable.
I kinda got the feeling if both sides were just better neighbors to each other this whole thing wouldn't have happened though.
I don't understand why this is not more popular. Only real commedy on except 99
Ehrm. Strangely hilarious. I would say "this one grew on me". Binged basically right through the end. Enjoy :) (or don't, not for everyone that's for sure).
I thought it was really great. The pilot is a bit of a mess, but after that it really finds what it wants to be. If you liked the "This is the End" movie, this is for you. Very funny and entertaining.
It's terrible but I can't help it, I like it!
The Salvation's 1st season was a disaster.
I still can't wrap my head around the fact they've managed to play us with all those clichés you've seen a million times before, and that in spite of that people still like it. It's nothing short of amazing!
Oh, and Darius is hot!
Gets better after the pilot but best thing about the show so far: the soundtrack.
Slow at first but picked up from episode 3. Fabulous series after all.

The definition of short and sweet, some very funny moments, 2-3 times where I laughed so hard I had to wipe my eyes. Nothing truly groundbreaking but would love to get more seasons in the future. A solid evening binge, worth the watch for sure.
Painfully slow pace gives the impression they don't have a lot of content to work with and will probably be stretching it out to fill the run time. Ashamed, because could be a potentially interesting topic for a real documentary.
I'm really baffled as to how this reviewed so well with critics. I think George is kind of an absurd character, but everyone else is really bland. The documentary doesn't do a great job of really analyzing the way the festival is run or what motivates the other characters, instead trying to drum up some sort of Succession style drama, except for the fact that the actual actions the characters are taking are not actually that crazy or impressive or even entertaining. It's just very bland and drawn out, and you can see by the ending that they didn't really have a story to tell. I feel like they were trying to capitalize on the way Tiger King went viral, but at least that story had genuine absurdity driving it. This one simply does not. It has some heavy stylization, but that's about it.
Yikes. not very interesting people here.
The premise has promise that the writing didn’t keep. The pace was jagged in some places and cumbersome in others. The performances were mediocre. I give this limited series a 5 (meh) out of 10. [Drama]
It has a banger intro theme but the humor mostly isn't for me. I still enjoyed it tho and actually want to watch a potential second season
Nice show. Good humor. I hope there is a season 2.
Really good show. Obviously it wouldn't be 100% accurate, but I can see some people getting upset and threaten never to use Uber again after watching this.. but don't forget what TK said near the end (paraphrasing) -
"everyone criticizes me for being an asshole, but the only reason we got this far is because I was an asshole"
Bruh- Irving Picard made his company $1,250,562,343.08 to be exact, he was the trustee on the case. Jeez, the victims got victimized twice. I have zero empathy or sympathy for the madoff family. They lived their lives in absolute luxury, using other people's money. I dont have any sympathy for their employees. The guy whose identity was concealed definitely knew what was up.
I hope SBF gets the same sentence. White collar crime is MORE dangerous than blue collar crime, and has far reaching consequences for all who were involve.
I rather enjoyed random episode order. Just watch White last. Chronological order is just spoilers. It could have been much better but it was entertaining. Remember, White last.
I wasn't interested in watching this series, but walked in while my wife was watching the beginning of the second episode and got instantly hooked on it.
Growing up in the UK I knew how vile the newspaper were/are, but this was extreme even for them. I wasn't there when Diana was being vilified but can only imagine how bad it was after watching this.
The Royal Family are complicit in this and Harry should have known this was going to be bad. Maybe he thought it wouldn't have gotten this bad after the way they treated his mother - guess again!!
Based on this series they appear to be really likable people and genuinely happy together at the end. good luck to them, they'll need it!
This is one of the best documentary series I have ever seen.
The fact that they had so much videography to make it into actual 6 hr series is quite unbelievable
