This was wonderful!

I don’t understand the low ratings, I really liked this. Great message, great acting.

Fair Review

It has plenty of potential. In good hands it could be a cool inspired story or even a dark entertaining one but I only got up to episode 5. Like everyone will tell you the protagonist is unbearable, which is fine actually if he was put in check by someone with sense. I’m someone who believes in activism and climate change and etc. But man killing a power grid? The argument is not intelligent. And story wise I felt it lacked meat, I don’t know why the protagonist feels so strongly about animals and I think that should’ve been explained in episode three at least. He threatens the lives of many and I thought he was a psychopath in episode one. I could say more but young people out there do NOT take this as anything other than fiction there is no message to be gained.
