    Thanks for this, this should be good. I enjoyed the book very much. A bit of sci-fi, mystery, time travel, romance ,suspense, more mystery.

    I do find Apple TV pick good stories and they do them well. Looking forward to this. And of course to 'Murderbot' which will be a bit further down the road, currently filming.

    Cant really subscribe a 'vibe' to it unless you know the book. It's nothing like 'Lost'. At all.

    Well that first episode was certainly strange anyway. 3 episodes out so will watch the next one later.

    Peace and long life.

    This has gotten really good. I must say I say the twist in episode 4 before thet said it. Great show. Deserves to do well.

    Agreed really looking like a great show bit of feel similar to fringe.

    Caught the first 3 episodes and quite liking it. Good central performances and they haven't oversold the cuckoo family drama.

    Crazy how multiverses became so mainstream so quickly.

    I think it very similar to Sliders myself but done slightly differently. Loved the latest episode. So well done.

    3 episodes in and I'm done, I think it's abysmal. The way he tries to explain the science of what's going on is comically bad. And I find him hard to look at as well, he's not downright ugly just hard to look at it is the way I'd put it. The acting in generally pretty awful too but that can happen with a terrible script. Makes Constellation look good.

    For some peculiar reason I found the eighth episode highly amusing, it was feckin crazy. 😁

    It will be interesting to see how it's wrapped up in episode 9, if it is wrapped up that is. 😜

    5 episodes down and It has been a slow burn so my patience has been occasionally tested but I've enjoyed this faintly grounded approach to the multiverse. Kinda nonsense as the concept kinda invites it and I'm sure "super position" isn't as simple as taking some drugs, but at least it has been ... convincing technobabble of sorts.

    Also had to adjust my expectation that this wouldn't be a show where we'd see, I dunno, a zombie universe, or a universe where France rules the world etc. etc. Though somewhat miserable that 90% of the universes we have visited have been apocalyptic.

    Mind blown episode - which is the one we've been watching the past 7 episodes? Is that really him or…

    I think the cops and the CSI folks would have a complete mess on their hands with what happened in that episode. It could end up being a series on its own. :P

    The final episode was a little zany

    It looks like they want to take it further judging from the last couple of short scenes, but what another series would entail is anyone's guess. 😛

    Just watched the last episode there. Makes no sense.

    I think they should not have to leave there world for one, all the other Jasons should have ho leave. Surely it would not be hard for box maker Jason to make more of the drug. He obviously knows how. It really made no sense why they all ended up on that World anyway. I think season 2 will be about the family trying to find a home of there own if it gets a season 2.

    Peace and long life.

    Thought the same - they only had some 40 ampoules left and assumed he had no way of making more on this earth but why they ended up together - Jason 1 did say he created multiples of himself…so they had no other home to go to, this was their home. All a bit confusing

    Finished watching episodes 8 and 9 last night. After ep 7 which was brilliant I was really hoping for a face off situation with Jason 1 vs 2 after that. The multi Jason 1 direction was a let down for me, but it did explain the ending of ep 7 which wouldn't have made sense otherwise - I was left wondering why Jason 2 would be in a gun store at the end.

    Finished series last night, cant seem to put text before spoiler.

    Here's where 9 out of 10 shows go to hell. They've run out of material (covered the whole book) but havent run out of greed.

    Looking at you GoT, Prison Break, The Dome and a thousand others
