Had hopes in the beginning, the premise seemed interesting and a mystery unfolds progressively revealing more and more.
The problem is, when you learn what's going on, you see the writers have pushed the story down a big hill and it's all over the place, an unrestrained implausible plot is what you're left with.
Characters stare out window not saying anything, with loopy electro background music ramped up beyond reason. Long abstract time-wasting shots seemingly for mood, or just because.
The side-kick woman who is part of the company, she is permanently stuck in "smug all-knowing mode". She seems to know everything that will happen, because fate or whatever.
The teenage whiz-kid techie completed the cliche geek-casting. His performance is forced. His fate is also one of many ridiculous elements of the story that may leave you angry... as in "nobody would be that stupid". You may feel cheated and want your time back.
Free will emerges in the form of a gun that may or may not be used.... very lazy writing to fall back on guns. In a series about other-worldly impossible future technology, they still relied on generic ideas involving a gun prop, and actors pointing it at other actors.
I liked it to begin with, but it went off the rails and was unremarkable by the end. The writers mainly the problem... the story just didn't get resolved, and lacks substance by the end.
