Ontario Neighbour ,

Blessedly short

This is a pretty good short series. I liked most of the acting and the ideas about time and relationships were intriguing. I liked the way they imagined the evolution of national and international politics in the next 40 years and its consequences. However I felt it fell into some action movie stereotypes and cliches that took away from the originality of those ideas. A lot of the action was strange to follow, trying to guess what it was you were hearing. For this reason I’m glad I could finish it in only 6 episodes.

Awesome podcast

Great show with great actors. 😊

Alain LaVerdiere ,

One of the best in this genre

Keeps the story moving forward. Doesn’t fall into soap opera tedium. Looking forward to season two. Great cast. Terrific voices. 🍁🏳️‍🌈🇨🇦🌸🎧
