  • I’ve noticed that this show is based on a book, I think I’ve seen it in the credits. Even without knowing the book, I have the feeling that the show isn’t well done, but the story and ideas from the book are interesting and good. It takes several phenomena in physics and events through science history and ties them together in a plausible but fictional way to create an engaging story. The show often feels like it’s constantly switching genres, it feels like the creators don’t know how to set a mood or a theme for a show. Furthermore, it promotes some modern, political views on society, which I’m not against, but then defeats itself by using old, opposing stereotypes in other parts of the show.

    The show feels like a Frankenstein monster created by many people who couldn’t reconcile their work. I’ll keep watching the show because I like the story. But if it gets too “netflix-like” I may just switch to the book.














  • Interesting, I have quite the opposite of a problem. For years now, I’m trying to find competitive multiplayer (fps) games which reward skill alone but to me they all feel too casual, are dead (afps) or are too slow (tac-shooters). The earliest multiplayer games were the most competitive ones, it got more casual when an industry formed around video gaming to appeal to more people. There are tons of multiplayer games with a completely casual environment. Im thinking of genres like couch-coop, survival-craft, social deduction, some city builders or maybe even Nintendo games. Maybe take a look at those.
