    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    First episode was decent. Real slow burner but I like that. Introducing the characters etc.
    Its in Dolby vision on Apple TV. Image looks incredible, if slightly dark.

    Onto episode 2.

    Finding it a bit up itself at the moment. On episode 4 and not sure how much this 'mysterious stuff' happening will hold my attention around plot lines of people which I find contrived.

    And if I have to watch another X minute self absorbed supposedly super emotional section about a sad lesbian, I'm gonna just press 'delete' on it. Yes, we get it, super duper super loving super duper amazing relationship lesbians!

    Just done episode 6. I'm still intrigued although there was a 15 minute sequence where it was shot so dark you couldn't tell what the hell was going on.

    LOL! I watched it last night too... It's just about scraping my interest, at least with ep6 picking up the pace a bit. And yes, f***ing dark At least we had a break from bestest most lovey love in the world lesbians...

    Six episodes in and all we have is an alien spider that can be stabbed to death with some sort of alien kryptonite?

    Still soldering on. Gone so far thru I feel invested now. But eight episodes in... and spending six minutes for a scene on a phone call from a phone box to an answer phone.... and we're still none the wiser about the aliens... and we're still dealing with the bested everest lesbian love ever... Hmmm...

    It's what's called a "woke-up call".
