Almost but not quite there.

Needed more Gideon. Gideon was the BEST part of this series. Unfortunately, we mainly only get to see him in the last episode.

The show felt extremely long. It was hard for me to get invested because none of the characters were relatable or interesting. They were all pretty annoying. The main character, Lucy, is constantly throwing a fit and cheats on her husband without a single ounce of guilt or remorse.

Nothing made sense (I know it wasn't supposed to until the end) but it didn't have a good reason for you to follow it. It was just thrown in randomly. There needs to be at least some cause or reason, a more probable and relatable motive.

Yea, a boy disappeared but he was also extremely strange and never really does anything. I developed zero attachment to him and when he disappeared I felt nothing.

The shows really picks up on the last episode when Gideon revealed everything. The suspense and execution were more interesting than the actual phenomenon. It was a bit of a letdown because it wasn't anything consistent. It was more like Marvel type sorcery involved.

Apparently some people can relive lives and retain their memories and apparently some can travel between or see and interact with other timelines and parallel worlds. Decent idea but it would have been better if Gideon were the protagonist!

A series based on Gideon trying to fix his past and future by living different lives and having to deal with unforeseen change of events is way more interesting then Lucy, her weird kid, and her affairs.
