This review is for the series overall.

An exceptional series from the Wachowskis as long as you're not homophobic.

1. The writing is on point most of the time. Main characters and supporting characters shine.
2. The cast is fantastic.
3. The multiple shooting locations around the world was a boon to this series.
4. Bug is best buddy.

Honestly, Bae Doona, the Wachowskis, and talk of this series having LGBT characters and being pro-LGBT were what piqued my interest in it. I'm glad it I eventually watched it. There's so much humanity on display here and it's beautiful to watch. It's a shame that Netflix didn't let it run it's course more naturally. The series finale feels rushed as a result, but it ends the series fine enough.

It was nice to see Lost alumni Naveen Andrews again. Capheus is recast in season 2. I was sad to see Aml Ameen not return, but Toby Onwumere filled the role well.
