3 episodes starting this Friday for 4 weeks.

Best Sci-Fi on TV. Up there with BSG, Farscape, Firefly as the best of all time for me

How does it compare with The Expanse and Doctor Who?

The lack of response by others in this thread is not so promising for the show...

I am interested in seeing the show but I've been busy watching other things and doing other hobbies. It's definitely on my "watch list" though which is pretty long now. smile

Judge it for yourself. Give it 3 episodes. If you are not hooked after that, you can call me a liar.

In my opinion, its the best scifi on TV. Way better than things like The Expanse. Much better acting. Much better story.

I’ve heard good things about it, but since I wasn’t crazy about the movie, I wrote it off when it came out. Summer is a good time to give it a go, we could use a show to binge.

I watched the first season, never got around to the second. I do want to pick it up again.
How many seasons has it run for?


Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.
This is known as "bad luck.”

Is the series weird and surreal like the Terry Gilliam film?

A little more gritty and realistic. Think Batman with Adam West turned into Nolans Batman with Bale.

Also with time travel a lot of mind trips...kinda like Looper on twists and turns

Digging up an old thread...

I just started season 3 now--underrated show!

From the Nielsen numbers and IMDB I can tell very few folks have seen this, but so far it has been great. Definitely recommend to folks looking for good characters, creative writers and plot that has twists and turns. Also way better than the last show I finished--Vikings. I'm not sure if the characters will stick with me like the ones in GoT, True Blood or Babylon 5 yet, but we'll see. That's a high bar to surpass, though, as those three shows have some of the best characters ever.

I’ve heard nothing but good things about the 12 Monkeys series on SyFy. I’ll watch it one of these days when I can make some room on my watch list.
