Straining to tie together an idea of reality that is incoherent and juggling determinism and free will or genuine choice it fails to convince. It falls at the same hurdle that every other 'in/out of the system' story falls. Attempting to pull QM into a deterministic framework it is surprising in its reliance on elements of a Newtonian world view, namely that everything can be known if there is enough data, and there is no role for randomness. It is also on the ponderous side and could comfortably have been made in four episodes with some pace. Mildly disappointing, but then I already knew it would be.
