It's an ok attempt at explaining the concept that we are not of free-will, how everything that came before us has predetermined our paths in life. The main actress is just ok in the part, but Hollywood has to stop casting Orientals solely to pander to the Chinese. Just cast ACTORS who can act. Her Russian boyfriend isn't much better. If you are expecting overt emotionalism, look elsewhere. They do their best to explain the physical concepts, but I'd have preferred if they'd gotten more technical, if possible, but that would require a longer series.
