Top-tier sci-fi
This is one of the best contemporary sci-fi series out there. They’re working on a second season, but it’s hard to know where that will go. For now, I can say the first season isn’t woke and it’s absolutely worth watching. It also works as a self-contained story, so even if the next season doesn’t live up to it, the first one wraps things up pretty well.
Highly recommended.
Enjoy it!

Forced diversity checkboxes and weak plot.
Bloated, mediocre sci-fi thriller with a 'meh' plot that drags despite multiverse intrigue. Heavy wokeness weighs it down: black, gay billionaire tech mogul funding the multiverse tech, screams DEI billionaire trope. Super-strong black female bodyguard/muscle type. The core story feels forced and uninspired.
Acting is pretty decent - Joel Edgerton and Jennifer Connelly try hard and could salvage better material.
But the forced diversity checkboxes and weak plotting make it ultimately forgettable. Overall, the show leans into Apple TV's usual diversity quotas without organic need, which dilutes the already mediocre story further.
Skip unless you're desperate for more Apple sci-fi.

Good show
I watched the whole series and didn’t find anything that felt forced. I thought it might be more of the same at first, but it pulled me in from start to finish. By today’s standards it didn’t feel forced. Worth checking out.
