First ep in series will allow to be a bit dodgy. There is a lot of heavy lifting, typically, going on in first 45-60 mins or whatever. Working through a few HBO series on Binge-O-Matic rt now & some older movies that have not been available elsewhere, but always looking for worthwhile The Next One

well i am for sure a huge fan of it. i love the alternate history and the time jumps and the cliffhangers and the characters. the characters just make it. the people you meet at the beginning, all of them have glorious unexpected arcs.
