    First season was astounding, powerful, alarming, and interesting. Second season, it is obvious they fired the wriiter who was the showrunner and ended up making the entire second season forgettable.

      I haven’t watched any of it yet. Would you say that it’s worth just watching the first series and forgetting the second, or does the second series wrap up some story lines ?

        The 4 seasons are worth watching. Most of it is actually really good, but it does get weird in the last season.

        Okay, so here’s the deal. This show should’ve had 5 seasons, not 4. Everything up till the middle point of season 4 is AMAZING. After that, they have really rushed it n made it quite illogical.

        The ending is underwhelming. That being said, I would highly recommend u to watch it. The story’s just really really good. Certain twists and payoffs are veeeery fascinating. Highly recommended!

      It’s based on a Philip K. Dick novel, but I didn’t watch more than a few episodes so I can’t really say how much it strays from the book.

        Didn’t realize Blade Runner/Androids Dream of Electric Sheep was based on fascism.

          But they’re a slave race that gets denied personhood despite being literally physically identical to biological humans by a mega corp that has destroyed the planet(s) (humanity has space colonies but it doesn’t really come up) and has taken on the power of the state?

      This is why I don’t usually finish shows anymore. You get to a point where you feel like they’ve gotten started with the pointless fillers and you check out.

        The way Game of Thrones ended, completely wasting/shitting-on the seven years people invested into it, left a bitter taste in my mouth.

        After that moment, I never expect to complete a TV show if they treat the audience as if we’re stupid by adding filler episodes mandated by corporate executives for the intention to solely retain viewers for revenue.
