About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a grounded, drama-forward sci-fi prequel about AI, virtual worlds, and moral compromise, especially if you liked Battlestar Galactica or Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles; Not for you if you need fast pacing and lighter themes.

Pros: ambitious sci-fi ideas; strong performances; rich world-building | Cons: slow pacing; uneven tone shifts; heavy violence themes
