In a future Vancouver, a copy is swept up into politics and stuff and things..

Great effects and environment, but the writing is weak and the acting is atrocious.

A missing father leaves clues that lead to a mysterious building that leads to other worlds.

While it doesn't feel slow, it ultimately doesn't get far enough to come across as anything other than a pilot episode for a TV series. Not recommended, but it's good enough that for people who are vaguely interested in the science fiction of it, it might be worth watching on a second screen.

An unknown event gave alternate-past Victorian Londoners a random superpower, and their numbers became pronounced enough to attract the attention of worried politicians. Or something.

Really interesting! I guess it's worth watching, but it slide sideways and got too strange to follow. It really needed more seasons to figure it's shit out, but the woke brigade MeToo-dogpiled Joss Whedon without evidence so he got shunned.

  • Abandoned - Drama

Survivors of a plague are blind, and the result is a world just unnecessarily shitty enough to set a show in.

I mean.. it's weak. The world building and motivations require me to park my brain and then I just get really distracted watching stupidity.


That's in the movie very briefly twice but has no purpose.

A world is all ruined and planty, and people use plant technology to get by. I guess.

Plants are gross and dangerous. I mean it's a movie I guess, but it's not.. greater than it's grossness.

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.

Following a colony in prehistoric times founded by people from the future.

Kinda okay I guess; the people are pretty.

  • Abandoned: Although successful, only one season was produced.

    • I bet it was cancelled because that first season ended weak.

Colonists from a ruined Earth struggle to survive on a distant world.

I don't like the characters, and it's boring..

  • Abandoned - Only one season was produced.
