    I've seen this trailer a few times when watching awful Thursday night football. I love me some sci fi....

    Gonna keep an eye on this one.

    Since William Gibson basically started cyberpunk in the 80's... and westworld was badass, I will watch. They have strong footing.

    Just finished S1E1 (the pilot).

    That might've been the best pilot I've seen. I think this show is going to turn out to be really good.

    I'm not super-critical when it comes to shows. As long as they entertain me on some level, I will generally give a favorable review. And so far (though E1), this show was very entertaining. It had action, rednecks, suspense, gore, mystery, a one-armed no-legged badass black dude, cool sci-fi and characters I was quickly vested in. Whoever wrote the pilot should've loaned some of their skill set over to the Rings of Power writers.

    Ohohoh William Gibson. Has there ever been anything from that author adapted? I’ve read a few of his books and liked most of it.

    I think it moved!

    I did not know this was a series, I am very interested to give it a try.

    Man CM has not changed at all she still has that young strange face.

    I can't believe she is only 25 it seems I would have thought she would be pushing 30.

    I am glad she is back on the scene.

    I've only seen the pilot, but this is pretty good sci-fi. Lots to ponder...

    I don't love CGM's accent or her brother much tho.

    The brother (and his friends) are way better in episode 2.

    Yep. Agree. This is good. It takes a slightly different angle and that makes it fun. And I like that the lead, Flynn, is asking the questions we all would ask if in her shoes. They may not have answered anything yet, but at least she asked so she's likeable.
