I am huge fan of Garlands work, but this show really doesn't do it for me. The show starts off promising, but ends up at a place where resolving the impossible philosophical hurdles the show has created for itself become the metric to which I judge the show. The acting is anemic, the dialog is bordering on genre parody and the way the show handles determinism makes me indifferent to what happens. The score, which is interesting, and the photography and set-design, which is gorgeous, become fancy packaging for an empty box.
