Personally I don't get the hype. It's an interesting, entertaining show but nothing new here. Especially if you're watching Asian movies and shows regularly. I give it a 6-7. There's much filler stuff and unnecessary side stories going on. Overall good but nothing spectacular.

@nescobar-a-lop-lop This pretty much. It's fun if you like that kind of thing, but the fact that it doesn't bring anything new to the table, combined with some of the most retarded cliches, it's almost a waste of time. Seems to be getting so much attention because the mainstream audience is only just getting introduced to the death game genre with this series.
Should have been labeled 'loosely based on the books by Isaac Asimov'.... Absolutely butchered the books... Disgrace... Woke nonsense
On a positive note, it is beautifully made and the actors do an excellent job.

@aylam If it makes me fragile, that I want shows and movies to be true to the source material, then yes I am fragile. But apparently I am not the only one being fragile, as you got quite defensive about my statements.
The original story was good, because it was good ... change too much and it will stop being good, as we have seen with a whole lot of other source material being butchered for woke points.
If you want a good space opera/drama with black women in the lead, write one! I don't support appropriation of others work for woke points.
Louis CK & Pamela Adlon.. What can go wrong? Pamela's time to shine!

True. But... Noe, That statement is not showing it. Season 4, things are starting to get too much filler. Hope it's just this couple of episodes. I love the show, but there is getting a bit too much filler and not engaging. Crossing fingers!
Very disappointed so far. Seems like they just threw a bunch of ideas at the wall hoping something stuck. Four episodes in and didn't care to finish

@xaliber lol, hope you are doing well. Anyway my complaint with the show had nothing to with the show having lack of action. My criticism was more the rapid introduction of technology that seems to overshadow the entire premise of the show. Not too mention the show didn't clearly explain why Takeshi? The show implied that his group was some badasses but didn't explain how being a badasses will help solve a whodunnit. Not to mention the side story with the Hotel AI. Seem there's was a subplot of an AI revolt but sadly that resolved so quickly, so felt it was a waste of my time.

Boring visual candy mixed with some nudity and poor acting. Very dissapointed in this show. I fell asleep during two episodes. The story is all over the place, and ones does not even know, nor really care, what the hell is going on. How this has a 79% rating (as of this writing), is beyond me. It should be way down in the 60s.
Absolutely comfy-core TV... despite launching with positive press apparently no one on trakt watched this. Too bad :/.

@sp1ti I'm late to the party, but this is an instant classic for me.
I am confused. This is from the last session right?

@sp1ti Don't worry. I did have a déjà vu. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Déjà_vu )
And then it was CANCELLED by the end of season 1 with only 10 episodes. I've come to believe that the TV industry has become spoiled by the low cost, low budget, low quality invention of Reality Shows. It seems that any new show that comes out, if it doesn't kill the ratings the first season and in some cases I've seen the first 3 episodes, the TV Executives kill it. This show had some real potential and could have gone in so many directs, hell the whole first season was like a roller coaster ride of suspense and discovery and twists at every turn. I love a show that when you start to think you know what's going on, something else happens that makes you say, "NO Fing Way"! So sad that the TV industry has forgotten what commitment, loyalty and belief to a show is and that it may take some word-of-mouth and the like to gain larger audiences but if you kill it early, you'll never know. I guess it really is all about the money but then again maybe the Internet and online programming like Netflix (and others) will start to change all that with better shows.

and now season 2 is bad....
should have let it finish the way it was supposed to instead of milking it with no material to adapt.
Is it just me or the second season is FAR better than the first one?

It's just you.. :-)
