Perfect - if you are able to forgive the 4 minor glitches

Warning: Spoilers
Fascinating series. There's nothing more to say. Perfect storyline, plot, dramaturgy, acting and technical execution. (Yes, I saw the green screen flaw at the beach, and even with that it's perfect.) Emphasizes well the important things in life, like the consequenses of our acts, the importance of human relations, etc. Exciting and touching at once. Brilliant.

Now about the minor glitches.

(1) Yeah, I know, how can VR glasses jump in time. Just a simple conversation could fix this: Ludo: How can this happen?

Agathe: You know, since they make even watches with quantum computers for years, noone knows for sure what's happening really inside these gadgets. My generation even considers smartphones a miracle....

Or something similar. :)

(2) Why the hell Mel had to escape, and to go to prison for so long years if the shot could be easily set up (and even morally acceptable) as self-defense? If she wanted to pay the price for the murder as a penitence, then Ludo should not have to give her up. It remains a real question, and contradiction, some explanation is really missing from someone.

Too bad.

(3) Agathe was a really strong and amazingly misterious character, she gave me the chills. I really missed some secret phone call from her at the end to some guy (who's face can not be seen), like this:
  • It happened again.


:)

(4) Some change in the past produces much more differences in the future, but okay, to keep the story going and understandable, the moderate change of events were a must. Not to mention that huge changes would have skyrocketed the production cost, so this one is absolutely forgivable of all.
