This series has something particular about it, like a personality of its own. I appreciated the music immensely, it felt like a character in the show, like it did more than set atmosphere... It spoke. My experience with the show was not very straightforward, I got bored at times, it didn't quite move me but I still found it interesting and more than that, in a way representative. While watching I knew that there is a quite big number of people, who are out of my bubble of interaction, who see this as a masterpiece and I felt like I am connecting with them through this. There are many themes in the series, predeterminism, free will, technology, multiverse, sacrifice etc, but what is unique about this work is the state it induces while you're watching as if you are in a simulation watching in on the real world. I know it sounds weird but if you watch it till the end it makes sense. It induces a sort of numbness, which is why I think they chose an actress who could portray emotions in a minimalist way to say so. I believe every decision on this series was made purpusefully to serve the themes they portrayed, so rather than liking or not liking watching this became an exercise in understanding, taking in this different way of perceiving and seeing what it says about this whole group of people whom I don't get to interact with and how they see the world, where they see I heading.
