I love sci-fi and I'm not unintelligent. I understand what they were shooting for. They missed. I love Nick Offerman and Allison Pill and it was only 8 episodes, so I hung on. But i was so unbelievably disappointed.

This show is supposed to be cerebral and mysterious, but it's build on premises a child could see through. I won't spoil it, but the climax(es) in the final episode are stupid. No explanation for the actions of the character that led to the final outcome, no explanation on how the final outcome even happened. It "just did". And the stupidity started long before that. There are scenes everywhere that are just dumb. Let's all spontaneously recite the Fibonacci sequence in our office chairs? It's supposed to be super smart or whatever, but it's just corny. Maybe this was a novel originally and it wasn't adapted well? That's the impression I got but I don't care enough to google it.

Offerman is amazing and the only reason this gets two stars. Pill seemed comatose the entire time. Most of the other actors were good at their roles, it's just that their dialogue was inane. There were long pauses where they were trying to build tension I guess, but it just felt like they didn't have enough material. Maybe this would have been an ok movie, but there is not 8 hours of material here.

Don't waste your time
