There is much to appreciate about this series. The character choice is great as is the storyline. Interest was drawn from a post on someone’s timeline on Meta. The scene used was one where an strange looking dishevilled young lady emerges from a car in search of a man who she is out to kill. This an other scenes are used to draw the audience into a complex plot capturing the stories of several unique personalities bound together by fate. You are drawn into their stories and friendship, loyalty, self discovery and more over the next week weeks and they attempt to make sense of their lives.
There are Sherlock Holmes vibes with the slightly effeminate lead character and his nervous and reluctant side kick played by Elijah Wood. Then there is a group of three ‘special’ young men whose task it is to consume energy.
There is a group from a government program that is tracking some escapees.
We have quite a number of theories about programs desinged to create the ultimate warrior…this series is an exploration of this subject taken to an extreme.
Several historical figures just trying to make their way home. Machines, detectives with troubled pasts, time travellers, scientists and a machine that can swap between humans and animals.
There are mothers, children, faithful husbands, wives, police officers, ancient heroes and a lot more. Viewers might tire at the names used as well as costumes but this in my view is a gem worth watching.
Hannah Marks reminds me of a slight crush i had on a young lady that was into gothic culture.
