Cheerful, interesting

08 May 2024, 20:20 #

An interesting series, lived up to expectations. I'm looking at it for two reasons – quantum mechanics and the beautiful Jennifer Connelly.

09 May 2024, 01:03 #

This is the second series at the beginning of the year that started about parallel worlds. I liked the first Constellation. The second one, this one, I feel it will be the same. A good cast, a good genre, I love that. Connelly is glad to see you. Of the minuses, so far everything is expected. Well, there's not much new to say about parallel worlds in the genre already. The main twist in the first series is well expected. You are so. Yeah, I know who it is and what's going to happen now.. Well.

09 May 2024, 13:35 #

So this twist was shown in the trailer)

I think he's not the main one)

09 May 2024, 02:51 #

It turns out that I also got into a quantum version of the world where my wife is not Jennifer Connelly😢

17 May 2024, 12:38 #

@HouseMD: I think we all got into the wrong option

21 May 2024, 02:50 #

@TheHeretic: Everyone except Paul Bettany

09 May 2024, 08:41 #

The beginning is just super! Casting is one of my favorite topics about parallel worlds and quantum mechanics (greetings from Quinn Mallory) :) Definitely, we are looking further

10 May 2024, 22:56 #

@Raf8678: Sliders of course has already become a classic!

09 May 2024, 13:35 #

It's still intriguing. The plot is clear. But how will they promote it - that's the main question!

09 May 2024, 14:51 #

It's kind of boring.

09 May 2024, 16:40 #

Interesting. But he would sooner have understood what had happened and what was happening... it bothers me every time to watch the Gers running around in horror and denial 😅

26 Jul 2024, 13:35 #

@sashakai: The first stage is denial

09 May 2024, 16:42 #

Also the image of Amanda Brugel 🔥

25 Jan 2025, 18:31 #

@sashakai: it looks like Boris Moiseev🙈

09 May 2024, 17:29 #

it's interesting so far, but I don't even know how to react, let's see what's next

10 May 2024, 00:56 #

Well, for now, a C grade. The intrigue is clear almost immediately. Let's see what happens next. William from the Wild West World and Connelly are pleasing.

10 May 2024, 20:09 #

I haven't watched the trailer, haven't read anything about the show, and that's the best way. Because even in this scenario, you quickly understand what's what and what twist will follow.
So the topic is already quite hackneyed, but I hope they will find something to surprise you with.

11 May 2024, 01:59 #

Трек в конце - Don’t Harsh My Mellow by Kids These Days

12 Aug 10:22 #

@tyrell:
Thanks for the tip, I found it) To be more precise, it's Kids These Days - Don't Harsh My Mellow (don't break my buzz). Track fire)

11 May 2024, 09:47 #

An interesting start! A kind of analogue or spin-off of the Constellation.
Only it is very dark on the screen for almost the entire series, apparently because the matter is also dark))

11 May 2024, 16:51 #

The book wasn't bad, despite the lousy translation.

12 May 2024, 18:17 #

It is impossible not to start watching a TV series called "dark matter". The plot, of course, is intriguing. But here's how it's all going to be resolved... I hope the story turns out to be interesting.

14 May 2024, 00:12 #

The plot is interesting, though predictable. The only thing that pisses me off is why he's running like crazy, he's sane. Why not just at least listen to what all these strangers around you will say, and then run away if you don't like it)))

27 Jul 2024, 03:20 #

@Anlyness: It looks like he didn't like it right away)

14 May 2024, 00:16 #

Well, so far everything is according to the trailer) I already want a dynamic development of the plot as soon as possible. Alice Braga was pleased with the cast

14 May 2024, 12:36 #

Huh) so far, according to the first episode, it feels like this is an inverted Sci-Fi version of the movie "Family Man" with Nicolas Cage :D

26 Jul 2024, 23:17 #

I've been waiting for this comment, thinking about it all series. 😆

15 May 2024, 15:48 #

Intrigued 😃

17 May 2024, 00:27 #

It is quite predictable, but, in general, it is interesting to find out what kind of trip they have arranged there and what will happen next

23 May 2024, 08:36 #

A light, lamp-like series that can be watched against a background, such as Darkness.😆

21 Nov 2024, 02:53 #

@DmitriyPetrov: Yes, I agree, respect

27 May 2024, 23:14 #

I like it so far

02 Jun 2024, 18:58 #

No.uya is not clear, but very interesting

02 Jun 2024, 20:06 #

I'm the only trigger "Jason's mask" 😀

03 Jun 2024, 13:35 #

The beginning is clear, but there have already been a lot of such heroes running away from the new reality. Some kind of nervous teacher is too much. And so far it's not bad

16 Jun 2024, 18:57 #

The beginning is super.
But here is the situation itself, how do you get somewhere, and at this time your wife will just be attacked like an animal by some kind of "me ". It looks a little strange, even in the place of the second me, what should be in my head?) so he sent himself into my reality, I'm here now - I want his wife right now.
It seems to smell like a maniac)))
Well, let's see what happens

20 Jun 2024, 12:03 #

An interesting start. It turns out that GG envied his friend, because he also wanted to be an outstanding scientist and receive a prize. As a result, we got what we wanted - welcome to a parallel reality. In the whole story, I sympathize with my wife. I wonder how soon she will realize that her real husband is not with her?!

SergeyIbragimov

20 Jun 2024, 15:57 #

An interesting start. The quantum world is a stretchable concept, although it may look like a multi-universe in part. In which the same person lives, but the lives of those who are nearby are different

21 Jun 2024, 19:44 #

The first episode is too boring and predictable. But then it should definitely be more interesting. I hope they won't disappoint.

22 Jun 2024, 11:40 #

Greetings to all fans of this genre! Tell me, please, the names of TV series and movies, the same plan, I've watched a lot of things, but suddenly someone will throw something new. I will be very grateful-with likes))))))

24 Jun 2024, 01:06 #

@LinaA: I can remember pines from the TV series, and I wildly recommend the movie Time Patrol 2013, if you haven't seen it, it twisted my brain powerfully))

28 Jun 2024, 00:48 #

@anabeltesfaye: спасибо

24 Jun 2024, 01:53 #

@LinaA:
The double https://myshows.me/view/48015/
(True, the ball is closed and not all the lines are finished, I remember a few)

Sliders https://myshows.me/view/76 / (classics about traveling through parallel worlds, probably many have watched)

The Lost Room https://myshows.me/view/206/

In general, there don't seem to be many direct series about parallel worlds, although the topic is fertile. More often they shoot about time travel. Or just a side thread about parallel worlds.
For example, in 'Man of the Future'
https://myshows.me/view/54291/
Or in '12 monkeys' https://myshows.me/view/39146/

From movies +- similar in subject:
Everything is everywhere and at once (well, everyone has already watched it, probably the Oscar after all)

Looper (https://myshows.me/movie/1947/)

Coherence (https://myshows.me/movie/1702 / we need to wait out the beginning a little bit, but then it's cool and very in the spirit of Dark Matter).

The Edge of Time (A rather unusual author's film https://myshows.me/movie/49458 /)

Triangle (https://www.kinopoisk.ru/film/406403/)

Detonator (https://myshows.me/movie/68582 /)

Time error (https://myshows.me/movie/8374 /)

28 Jun 2024, 00:54 #

@albinka_: Thank you for such a global answer, judging by the list, I have already looked at everything worthwhile)), I will probably reconsider the sliding ones, I do not remember how the case ended there), The double, for me personally, is predictable, but, good, 12 Monkeys did not dare for a long time-for Bruce's love, so I was afraid that the original would be killed

01 Jul 2024, 16:11 #

@LinaA: сериал Грань (Fringe)

@opheliozz: it looks like you accidentally turned on and watched the last (at that time) episode, instead of the first one, because that's what you're describing :D

24 Jun 2024, 18:35 #

@opheliozz: a good method, watch the series backwards)

23 Jun 2024, 01:02 #

The rapper at the end of the series somehow sounded out of tune, blurred the impression. And so the beginning is good.

24 Jun 2024, 21:34 #

I have read all the books by Crouch, I recommend it to everyone, he writes super, there are also film adaptations for lost pines, I would also like to see an Unearthly glow.

A promising beginning

27 Jun 2024, 19:05 #

Here's what happens when you mix Macallan with Coke :)

25 Aug 2024, 09:49 #

the main disappointment is that I hoped that there would be something in the spirit of the control game, we have the strongest control vibes on all promotional materials (and even in the introductory screensaver of the series itself), but the series itself, at least so far, does not give it away

28 Sep 2024, 00:00 #

@rstd_lmr: Yes, in the first episode everything is somehow simple

The idea is interesting, in the beginning there are a lot of secrets and guns hung (I so naively believed). But in fact, nothing shoots, and after the first episodes, they began to drain everything. The authors did not manage to ride the theme, there are TV series many times better. The same Double (2017-2019) is just an order of magnitude higher and more elaborate.

14 Oct 2024, 09:21 #

@JayDi: The double is stuffy. Everything there is based on J. K.'s game, and it's so boring, although the setting is interesting

14 Oct 2024, 09:20 #

It's a great start. Am I the only one who gets annoyed when in a movie or TV series the teacher just starts the topic of the lecture right before the call? I've never had this in my life, maybe it's considered the norm somewhere, or is it such a technique in the narrative?

20 Oct 2024, 00:12 #

Note bad, I like it, although it immediately became clear who and what))

11 Jan 2025, 22:35 #

I don't know what's interesting here, complete shit, not a TV series. First series, not hooked.....

17 Jan 2025, 18:14 #

It doesn't make sense. Does a super-cool scientist live in the same shack under the bridge as a downtrodden teacher? Well, well.
They say you're clean, you've been quarantined. How long did this quarantine last if it's still the same night? 20 minutes?
What kind of security does your company have? There's only one guard, and judging by his zeal, you can't even take him to Pyaterochka.
The only good thing about it is the way Connelly looks. Well, just a beauty. And she shouldn't have starred here.

06 Mar 2025, 22:55 #

How would she decide on the second episode if she almost fell asleep on the first one, it was possible to predict not only the plot twists, but even the characters' lines. It's not just a hackneyed topic, but a banal approach to it.
So that's it? That's it. The main character will reveal the villains, try to get into his own world, overcome difficulties, get attached to a new world, the agony of choice blah blah blah

15 Apr 2025, 10:46 #

God, this is what I've been looking for. The series caught on immediately

24 May 2025, 11:16 #

The first episode is interesting. There is an intrigue. We are watching how the plot will be promoted further.

21 Jun 2025, 11:41 #

I fell asleep on the first episode... I thought at least some kind of cliffhanger would catch on in the end, but no! The plot did not accelerate even at the start, the intrigue is zero. So this series is not my thing.

24 Aug 2025, 13:00 #

Jennifer Connelly🫶🏻🫶🏻💦💦
The series is hooked, we're looking further

26 Aug 2025, 18:06 #

I finished reading the book the day before yesterday. Of course, I don't like the discrepancies, although Crouch himself adapted them, they shouldn't have made a psychologist his roommate/wife. There was no such thing. 🥲

28 Aug 2025, 19:10 #

The cost of the book will be considerable. I suggest that everyone take this as the story of a separate branch of the universe, not the one we read about in books. After all, it may be quite a working option . 😁

29 Nov 2025, 01:34 #

What a great cast, it just catches the eye. I adore Jimmy Simpson, but I haven't met Edgerton yet, but he's very pleasant.

His version from an alternate world is kind of weird, like he attacked his wife like that. Maybe his wife died in that world and that's why he wanted to come here?

I love such series, I wanted to wait until several seasons were released to watch them in one gulp, but I couldn't stand it.

27 Mar 01:57 #

Viber (title theme and screensaver), Darkness, Facets, Lost....
Interesting

02 Jun 15:33 #

The cat's position is not great. We just don't know if he died there or not yet!!🤔

16 Jul 04:16 #

The beginning is cheerful! I love TV shows with similar strings attached.

01 Sep 05:43 #

God, I thought there would be something interesting like darkness, and in the end, 90% of the episode was chatter and a little sci-fi. I won't look any further.
