An alien and a mutant walk into some bars..

While it’s perfectly watchable, it’s definitely not great compared to the earlier two and certainly doesn’t hold up at all.

A drama about a secret society of nerds? I don’t know.

Fuck man, this show is utterly alien. It’s Chinese, and this storytelling is just fucking terrible. I guess I’ll wait for the American version.

Going on a road trip to move one of them, three college students take a detour to track down a hacker that almost framed the other two.

Great pace, tone and overall “feel”. Suspenseful, interesting and intriguing. I feel as though this movie doesn’t dumb itself down for its audience, because there really isn’t any opportunity for it to make a choice either way.

Aliens wipe out most of humanity for some reason, then they choose to not wipe out the rest of humanity for some reason, then stragglers struggle to survive and such.

Really really awkward writing. There is so much that makes no sense whatsoever, even in the context of the show itself. It has snippets of potential but it’s overall torturous for anyone who tends to pay attention; not recommended.
