9/10

Very good TV show. Story is interesting, characters are well developed, acting is superb, visuals and cinematography in general is great as well. There are no sex scenes either, which is another plus, because I find them unnecessary in TV shows and movies (unless they belong to erotic genre).

If you're fan of SCI-FI movies like "Automata", you will definitely love this TV show.

You've reached the end.
