Imagine if someone took a simple, short story about the question of whether or not the universe is deterministic. Then take that story, stretch it out by obfuscating the entire background and slowly feeding past events to the viewer. Add in some Deus Ex Machina and you have this series.
The acting and characters are flat. The "deep" philosophy isn't. The conflict over whether or not we have free will is utterly nonsensical, and I don't mean from a philosophical standpoint, I mean from a plot and dialog standpoint.
This whole thing felt like a drawn-out, emotional bummer that could have been a 45 minute Twilight Zone episode instead.
