    Just finished episode 1. Pretty WTF show. It sorta feels like a deliberately delivered Stranger Things mixed with Devs. The first episode was somewhat slow...but the storyline was very 12 Monkeys-ish.

    Looking forward to catching more episodes. Like Devs, there's tons of beautiful camera-work along with a good soundtrack.

    Amazing cinematography and music. Stories are connected but each one is different. It is slow and strange but I really enjoyed it. Definitely not everyone’s cup of tea.

    Felt more like Dark meets Black Mirror than anything else to me.

    Made it through 4 episodes. Spoilers

    The kid stealing the other kid's body was just too ****ed up for me. Seeing the other kid stuck in the robot was heartbeaking. Then the one where the Asian kids stop time. Just too sad.

    I had to take a break. I did the same thing with Black Mirror after the third episode. I don't like too many feels in my entertainment.

    Make no mistake, it's a quality sci-fi show with a very euro feel. I liked it, I just don't like the feels too much. 'Murica.

    I don't really get the feels about stuff like this but I like dark sci-fi.

    I definitely enjoyed it, though I felt like it didn't finish on as high a note as I had hoped. But I really dig anthology type shows like this with some kind of through-line.

    Agree on the body swapping episode. That was tough, man.

    The sad robot was good. Like the subtle interconnectivity. But not sure what it wants to do. Overall worth watching.

    The second episode (body swap) was quite a trip.
