Its decent sci-fi. Good graphics for the virtual reality aspects. The actors are not the greatest, especially the main brother who often appears to be simply yelling at the camera. The plot is slow and the reveal for the turning point and finding out about where the 'others' are coming from is very late in the series.

They try to play it off like a modern distributed version of Frankenstein, but that really only comes through in the last two episodes. Before the last couple episodes, its confusing about why the people are acting the way they are. The plot timing needed another rewrite.

If you like sci-fi, you will probably like this show.

I liked the first Jason Bourne movie. Who didn't. This series is a well done continuation of that story line. Its action packed, but kind of too action packed. There are multiple story lines occurring at the same time from different places in the world and in the past. The episodes bounce all over the place. Its 1973, its present day Washington DC, oh, its North Korea, its somewhere in America, nope 1973 again. I do like shows that keep me on my toes, but this one is losing me already.

Its also vulgar, and there is a lot of killing. Understandable because there are brainwashed super assassins running around the world, but its a bit too much. And the psychotic torture scenes from 1973 are disturbing. I may have to drop it.

Fun fact, the first Jason Bourne movie is a remake of a movie by the same name from the 1970s. I tried to watch that movie but its horrible. The Jason character is played by a 50 year old guy. Its more like a bad version of James Bond played by Roger Moore.

Ferris Bueller + Zombie Apocalypse = Stoopid

Review after first episode... its the Norway version of Alien Nation. Instead of the migrants coming from space, they come from time periods in the Earth's past. One of the main characters is a woman who was a fierce warrior in the distant past and joins the modern Norway Police force after a year of training. Somewhat unrealistic timeline. Knowing that it concluded after one short season has not set my expectations very high. Its an unusual twist on a time travel story. Its in Norwegian with English subtitles.

UPDATE: By episode 5 the show is completely off the rails with mystical supernatural things going on and the plot is all over the place. They seem to have been trying to introduce new tangents to explore in future season but they forgot that they hadn't been renewed. The first few episodes are weird but not bad, but the last half should never have been filmed.

Its decent first episode and deserves more than 1.5 stars, but here is the thing... its a gimmick story, and once you know the gimmick, which is revealed at the end of Episode 1, you then have no reason to keep watching. Dropped.

Great first season, season 2 started ok but by episode 3 its off the rails and getting weirder in a bad way. Dropping it.

A cross between a murder mystery and a police procedural. Each episode is a single murder case that the Rob Lowe character and his reluctant team must solve. The murders and investigations are interesting and unique. The pace of the show is fast. Rob Lowe is a better actor than you probably think. I'm only giving it 3 stars because the police procedural aspect with the american being brought in to make people redundant takes away from the murder mystery aspect, which is the part of the show I like best.
