    Why is the Statue of Liberty making what is clearly just an awkward hand gesture and nothing more?

    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.

      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.

      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.

      There are whole sections of the story that show American suburbia as it would have been known in the 1960s, except with Nazis. Churches are repurposed to worship the state rather than a god, but are otherwise unchanged in their layout or services. When the Nazis took over, they found plenty of people willing, even eager, to collaborate.

      The whole point is that America was never that far from fascism to begin with.
