    Fantastic TV, great development and the linchpin episode

    This is the episode that ties together the show, tell us what is going on and develop several characters at the same time as we get all the exposition. Absolutely brilliant TV and anyone who watches this show have to see until the 4th episode, this is where all the strings and threads go to be tied up together.

    At first, during the first 5min or so I almost felt like the pacing was off, almost boring, but as the episode progress we understand what this is telling us and what is what.

    Acting is getting to phenomenal levels, and I cannot wait to see more of this. One of the best shows on TV right now and should not be missed.

    A strong 9/10.

    NOOO! WHYYY!

    I gave "eights" ratings for the first three episodes, then this episode came out of the shadows and is so boring in comparison!

    *Those* are going to be the driving plot for the future dystopia?! People are absolutely saturated with them, and watch these fiction series - especially sci fi, **for escape**!

    I'll finish the series regardless (only four episodes left), but I have to express my extreme disappointment with these writers, that unless there's a drastic change soon, have.squandered an absolutely brilliant start to what could have been a fresh classic.

    Imo, even The. Mandelorian had one bad episode, so I hope this one was a glitch...

    Not bad but hardly anything to do with the book

    Advertising this show as 'based on a book of William Hobson' is a shame. What we have here are the names of the main characters and the plot of time travel. If we take this aside the show is actually good. Not as good as the book that offers much more in terms of the story, specific language, characters. So read it!

    I hope at some point the show will more open up for more ideas, and explain how the "artefacts" from the future make it into the past. The Pheripherial book is unique as it neglects the tradition Time Travel paradox - if you change the past it affects the future... here we have a change in the past - creates new future thread - completly independent. So we can have infinite number of threads in the past that will never change the future.

    There's not much action, but...

    We are not seeing much action, but we're enjoying pure sci-fi lore. For example, now we know what happened in the world and why there are so few people left.

    We also get to understand more about Lev's intentions, as well as, we meet his wife for the first time. Furthermore, we discover that they are mainly business people with no morale for that matter.

    I like how the story is getting more mature and giving a better picture of such reality. For example, the fact that Flynne is having some health problems adds more nuance to the risks.

    I really like where this is going. After all, we cannot keep being such adrenaline junkies. We gotta learn to enjoy some slow-paced plot development. Especially, on plots so complex like this one.

    I do like some good character background, character development, and a strong rational foundation for the story.

    Good, It Gets the Job Done

    We're halfway into the season, and the show's pacing has started to drag a little; the fourth episode, "Jackpot", is a slow burn. The episode's big reveal at the end does a few things:

    • Answers some of our burning questions.


    • Ups the stakes.


    • Adds to the already lengthy list of mysteries that remain unanswered.


    Moreover, "Jackpot" also gives us insight into who might be the villains. A gradual build-up isn't always a bad thing; if the ending is any indication, things are progressing nicely here. Great work so far; I hope they can maintain this level of quality. As usual, I look forward to the next episode.

    Rating: 7.2/10.

    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Ash shows Flynne a recreation of the North American power grid being hacked, the simulation shows all of the United States going dark at the same time except Texas. This is a striking attention to detail, since (as of 2022) Texas does not operate as part of the national grid.
    • Quotes

      Lev Zubov: Your description of the Klept left a bit out. You mentioned the "application of extreme violence." There was no shortage of that in the Jackpot, certainly. But the Klept simply succeeded where others failed through a sort of atavistic tribal unity. Strike one of us, strike us all. And suffer accordingly. I'm sure that you could express this all far more eloquently than I can, using my toast as a prop.
