I love the amount of naked women in the show. I wonder if a show has more than this one. You hate yourself for loving this exploitation. Perfect.
The scifi concepts are good, I think the mind drive is my favorite sci-fi device. I like it in Battlestar Galactica, The 100, and other sci-fi. It's perfect questions about what makes a person, when we're so intimately connected to our bodies.
The social analysis is good, rich versus poor, veneration of the rich, etc.
The visuals are amazing beyond the naked woman all over the place.
Poe brings in a literature element, but I haven't read enough Poe, he's not my favorite genera.
Cops and mystery. Jedi and samurai. Romance and action. Genetics, family and legacy. It's all there, the big themes. Cynical narrator, mercenary with a heart.
Great exploration of fanaticism, of culture keeping the Spanish.
Martha Higareda, Kristin Lehman and Dichen Lachman are amazing.
My biggest complaint is "block the chain" doesn't really describe how a mind changes the constructed reality inside a simulation. Perhaps it's got to be poetic anyway, because it's ishkabibble.
The critics panned the nudity, and loved the second season, which only features one nude scene. I can't get into the second season, more shame for loving all the nudity. Perfect vehicle.
And the rich people who live forever are perfectly corrupt and evil. Time really could be a burden. That I think is the existential insight perhaps, more time might not be right for humans given their need to be entertained. By enjoying this show I am complicit in that corruption. It's also a testament to the impact of trauma.
