I thought it was decent. SPOILERS To start off, I haven't read the books so can't compare the two. I like the actors, but thought their dialogue could've been a lot better. Also..... why was everyone acting so casually to the universe blinking and the particle accelerators going whack? If that happened IRL, the world would've thrown into chaos WAY sooner. There were also times when the physics was shallow at best, situations of huge importance were skipped entirely, and the implications skipped. And then the aliens. I was confused and only got more confused. They are watching us supposedly 24/7 for months and yet they can't figure out what fairy tales are?!? Their video games were fanfiction of their history and yet they can't comprehend fictional novels? Yeah..... no, that doesn't track. That and why they had to travel so slow. If your technology is advanced enough to interact with the higher dimensions, then you should be able to travel well above 1% of light speed. Don't even get me started on how their civilisation was able to advance that far to begin with unless they're insanely durable compared to humans and didn't die like they did in the simulations. All of this said, it was still enjoyable and I'm looking forward to season 2.

Started out great, but then it went to hell in season 3. SPOILER ALERT: Magne apparently develops schizophrenia after Isolde's death (I didn't even remember who this was) and somehow his mental disorder is magically cured. It's EXTREMELY gross and offensive to actually sufferers of schizophrenia. I have a friend with schizophrenia who is more of a man than the director ever will be. His mental issues aren't something to be dismissed and jotted down in the same realm as "childhood fantasy".

Incredibly boring. It was listed as dark, suspenseful, and malicious. Its malicious alright. Maliciously boring. Maybe it could work as novel where we at least have the character's thoughts but there's nothing exciting about this. Subtle is one thing but this takes it way too far.
