About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a globe-spanning sci‑fi thriller built around found-family bonds, identity, and intense intimacy, with bursts of action; Not for you if explicit sex, preachy themes, or messy pacing bother you, and try Marvel's Jessica Jones for a darker vibe.
Pros: bold global scope; emotional connection; memorable ensemble | Cons: slow early episodes; heavy romance focus; uneven pacing later
