Same! I watched Episode one and thought" Yes I will carry on watching this!". Six hours, eight Episodes of 50 minutes each more or less each, I finished!with the lockdown at the moment I have loads of time on my hands, so I watched the whole lot in one day.... bloody marvellous, one of the best I have seen for a long time, much better than recent Picard, and that is coming from a Trekkie.
I assumed she was transitioning and wanted to be recognised as a he. Awesome series, really enjoyed it.I enjoyed it very much, especially the soundscape bursting out of my AV in mock-surround (iPlayer's still only stereo), however, the one thing that really irked me the whole way through was that the character of Lyndon is supposed to be a 19 year old young man but is played by a 23 Y/O woman. Her body shape was nothing like a man's and it just kept throwing me out of the story every time she was on screen. Weird casting choice.
Please please watch 2 more episodesWatched first episode. Did not enjoy it at all.

You really want to watch it dubbed into German? And then possibly aired in a late night slot on whatever network and even cut with commercials? Three little letters, my friend - VPN. Which is morally wrong and a legal grey area, and so could well stop you sleeping comfortably at night. You have been warned!Thanks forv the Review, Cas. Will wait for this to drop on somewhere in Germany, it sounds interesting.
Ah, Kenton is ex CIA, that explains his skills!
Given the onscreen logos at the end of the crawl, FX and DNA, I would presume that the BBC licensed it more than it has a hand in the actual production. It's not a cheap series, the production values are lavish, it's not what the BBC does.Not quite sure how/why the BBC ended up with this masterpiece as it's a long way from their usual fare, as such dissapointed that it was only 720p / Stereo audio, but the visuals and soundtrack were still stunning.
One of my favourite films! Let's not mention the Stallone version (AV Forums, if there was ever a place for a throwing up Smilie, it's here). Given just how low the budget was, they did a fantastic job. I watched it on a flight to Dubai one time and the kid next to me slowly angled his seat back and watched along, his parents completely oblivious.Ahh the true spiritual successor to Robocop!
The most fat-free, totally enjoyable action film of the last twenty years in my opinion.
Lol! They have come a long way since I moved here 21 years ago. No, I would watch it in English, either on Amazon Prime.de or Maxdome, both of which give the English Soundtrack option on many titles. Not a great liker of regular TV with commercials. Probably not tuned into a Channel for two years!You really want to watch it dubbed into German?

Watched it and enjoyed it but had a few reservations
- was it really necessary to film Sonoya Mizuno in her underwear at least once every episode? It soon got a bit obvious (didn’t this happen in ex-machina as well?)
- No matter how worthy and cool the soundtrack, I find that bombing-in familiar (and sometimes not so familiar) songs in such a very overt and unsubtle way tends to detract from the content for me. A bit like too much salt and pepper added to an otherwise fine meal.
- Although I followed the concept of what the Devs team had achieved, in practical terms it just seems too unlikely in anything like the near future. E.g. to know everything about everything down to a quantum level at, say, microsecond granularity would probably require more bits of data than atoms in the universe ... even to simulate just one second
I do have a couple of questions though if anyone has any thoughts:
- Why could the quantum computer not predict the future beyond the events of “that” evening? Surely the real world continued as before?
- In the ending, it’s implied that Lilly and Forest have been implanted into the simulations of every strand of the multiverse (and onscreen we are seeing just one of the simulated ”worlds”) but surely to simulate an infinite number of universes would require an infinite number of quantum computers?
Does Amazon Prime.de of Maxdome have it? So many platforms these days it is impossible to keep up and how many subscriptions can a person afford and juggle? There are sometimes fantastic shows but on 'this' instead of 'that' platform and only so much time to watch things anyway; can't catch 'em allLol!

I honestly have not looked - I've got so much other stuff to work through right now.Does Amazon Prime.de of Maxdome have it?

Re. your questions:
1. True, the future would have continued in that universe, but things happen because they are in the script. And I do believe Forest mentioned they could now look as far ahead as they could back.
2. Not at all. One computer doing all the work, multi-tasking. But each one of those multiverses might or might not have a quantum computer and the one Lilly ended up had no Devs; the field was empty.
