    GurlyIamBeach Instant Favorite.
    Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
    Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.
    Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
    Xanthias Poor dialogue, poor acting and poor delivery. The characters are two- dimensional and clichéd, the script lacks drive and focus and the overall plot lacks structure. Score sounds like a teenagers wannabe indy list, fails to set, move or enable the plot or camera-work.Plus points, good camera-work and effects, decent production values, and I think the director did his best with what he had to work with.This is not a TV show that will go at the top of anyone's CV...
    fogtrope The characters are somewhat interesting, though not always believable. It would seem that the series was terminated abruptly as there are all sorts of loose ends in the final episode. The tone of the series is 'dark' an understatement, given that the writers did do a decent job of making the characters as interesting as possible. As mentioned before in other reviews the season is only 3 episodes long and therefore seems to indicate it may not have been well received. Pity, as the series starts to get interesting and reveals some of its secrets in the final episode. Those who are X-files fans will see some familiar tropes being played out here. So enjoy the ride while you can, as it stops abruptly.
    ricbarrett There are two rules to live life by. Number one is never tell anyone everything you know and I feel that this series does a great job in that regard so it keeps you on your seat in that way. Of course, this is sci~fi and it's sci~fi with a little bit of twist. If you're a sci~fi fan then you should enjoy this show.I have to say that it's set in London, or what looks like London but just in the future. In this regard the location scout did a great job. Thumbs up to them.Another really good thing about this series is that it keeps you on the edge of your seat with punchy dramatics and interesting narrative style.There's a girl, a citizen of the future, and she thinks she is going crazy because she has to always think about things and write things down on her PC. Maybe there might be too much by way of plot overlays, I don't think so but I can see why other people might. I have had 30 years of sci~fi experience and this series pressed almost all of the sci~fi buttons, which isn't an easy thing to do on such a low budget.Onto the budget. This really does look like a million pound show but they didn't have a budget of a million pounds. So well done to the CGI department. There we some FX that I could tell were CGI but all the rest I couldn't so they stitched them in well and the FX helped to push the plot along a lot.To conclude, I would say that sci~fi fans should give this a go. It has futurist elements which are combined well with current social issues and its social currency pays for itself in keeping with modern times. The lighting is amazing and you will really feel teleported into the future. Big thumbs up to the director for this.
    flocompute I have seen this series a few times now and would whole heartedly recommend it for anyone interested in a exciting TV series with interesting characters including Jennifer (played by Game of Thrones star Natalia Tena) and helmed with style by director Alex Garcia (misfits, Utopia). It's superbly shot with great scale and is a step above recent UK TV releases. The mystery starts with a bang and the action doesn't let up from there. Amidst the chaos lie ethereal entities that could be tricks of the mind. Conflicts and corruption perforate every inch of the world and are a symptom of a society hurtling out of control. It's in this uncertainty that our protagonists are searching for the truth which could take them to the brink! I won't say any more but suffice it to say I can't wait for the 2nd season!
