Anyone watched this series? I really enjoyed it.
 
Ignore this one I see it is in the main one.
 
Sorry, together with Beyond, it's just not my cup of tea.

I read a sarcastic article by a TV critic recently where they reckon that the latest technique for producing a series is to write the final episode first and then see how many pointless episodes you can fit in before the show gets canned.
 
I just finished the first three episodes. Its drags and the main character is the most unappetizing thing I've seen on television in a long time.

Cannot continue any further.
 
Watched the whole thing. It wasted my time.

It's the TV equivalent to internet click bait, it keeps tricking you into thinking something more is coming but then nothing interesting ever happens.
 
I enjoyed it. Especially the part played by the professor/doctor/researcher and the lengths he was willing to go for 'science'. Characters had depth and the actors performed superbly. I liked the pacing and that the story wasn't rushed to please the ADD crowd that just want cheap thrills. It's not perfect but offers a different perspective on various polarising issues like the life after death, faith, the cost of knowledge, multiverse, prisoner psychology. I'm not well enough versed in any of these topics but it did start me wondering.

Which main character RIB? I haven't watched it but would like to have a look.
 
Guess it appealed to me for where I am in life at the moment. Plotting my own cave with Cages.
 
was watching the first ep at office during lunch then shameless "tck-tck-tck-tck-tck" surprise sex and ignored it in disgust from then on.
 
I remember trying to watch Room because this actress was so brilliant and all.

And then I saw this and realized it's the same depressed actress playing the same role.

Switched off.
