ending was whatever, made all the middle episodes not important and filler, could have been cut and made a movie. the wife was still the worst part of this and still didnt understand what made her so special, and why did she need to appear almost naked when she looks like a little boy

So a random employee could enter that elevator code? Laughing

The ending was very atmospheric, the visuals, the music, as usual.

Very weird the complete fascination of the script with the character, and the love triangle, who cares??

An interesting concept, with fascinating sparks and very unique vibes, but neither the acting nor the writing itself really managed to live up to the promises Okay

The main problem for me is that everything(tm) felt rather distant and inconsequential, aggravated by the poor pacing and the little attachment that I developed for many of the characters. Mizuno's physical apathy mixed with you're tearing me apart moments, her insipid cuckfriend, the Lyndon uber-smart kid (on a side note: I just discovered it was played by a 22-year-old woman *mindblown*) and the fairly bland dialogues overall didn't quite help. Was it a waste of time? Yes and no. But mostly yes, sadly.

Not quite, the tone is more celestial so to speak, with some vintage/pop songs in between as well. Nothing too remarkable in my opinion Razz

Thanks ixi, gave the show a miss after all the middling reviews. That "insipid cuckfriend, the Lyndon uber-smart kid" part though

Man the VFX looks so cheap in this one, also god daymn this show does not have single scene with straight lines in picture, looks like they have filmed it with low quality shit wide lenses without any corrections applied in post.

VFX was rather good I thought??

Garland likes the anamorphic look. See Ex Machina: https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Ex-Machina-Blu-ray/128113/#Screenshots

The visuals reflected the whole plot device, imo.


Just finished it. Good show.
 Spoiler:
 


"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."
