On Saturday, Netflix suggested a new show by the Wachowskis and J. Michael Straczynski (Babylon 5), and because its premise sounded interesting, I gave it a shot and watched the first 3 episodes in one sitting (which is funny, since that’s exactly what a lot of the early reviewers out there did, too). The premise is interesting, the way these 8 very different people suddenly connect well-depicted (and it sure helped that they’re all very, very pretty *g*). Still, I wasn’t completely hooked, since only a couple of the storylines (most of all Nomi’s) really gripped me, although things definitely picked up towards the end of my first session – at least enough so I kept watching. And boy, am I glad I did, because in episode 4 I properly fell in love.
I’ll try not to spoil too much, but let me share some of the reasons why.
