It an age where everything you watch on TV or at the movies gives you a feeling of deja vu because every story idea has been done to death, this one will really throw off your expectations. Both of MCU fiction and of television in general. This is a highly original and creative story line which is also unpredictable. I loved every minute of it.

Even though I was confused for the first several episodes, I loved those episodes as well. Possibly because I grew up watching 60's and 70's television, and the look and feel of TV in that era has been recreated beautifully. But if you're feeling frustrated early on, you should definitely stick with it because it pays off and you will think differently of those early episodes. Good original storylines take some time to develop.

And thematically, the idea that people wishing to escape trauma, or even the banality of everyday existing, through escapism, has strong resonance. That theme has been covered before, but never with this much creative innovation.

This is now my second favorite MCU TV series after "Daredevil." 9/10.
