This serie is not breaking newgrounds but is enjoyable. The first episodes are a bit too slow for my taste but at the end it gets somehow better. If there's a chance for season 2 I'll watch it. Acting is a mixed bag, sometimes good sometimes not so much. The story is at least intriguing and you'll want to know we're it leads to.

This show is so much better than the typical Netflix series you see out there today. This series shows its potential and uses it to the max!

The only thing that bothered me from the beginning of the first episode all the way up to the half mark of the second one is the pace at which the plot proceeded (therefore, if you thought this show is boring after the first episode ended, you should reconsider your decision and give it another try, because it just gets better and better as the the plot in the series goes on). It was a little too slow, and therefore it didn't live up to my standards. BUT, now we are heading to the positive arguments of why this show is an absolute masterpiece.

The first thing is how well all the characters played their roles. There is a great balance between them all; everyone has their own purpose. We clearly have a protagonist and an antagonist in this show, all the other characters are just a bonus to make it all feel as authentic as it is.

Furthermore, the plot starts off quite discreet and rather quiet, but as the story builds up it triggers the pace to pick up, too. With this being said, the show offers you a tense build up and a climax which will have you stuck to your screen until the series finishes.

Moreover, the plot twists it offers are just beyond phenomenal! It left me astounded and open-mouthed several times. If that doesn't ring a bell and signalise how good it must be, I don't know what does.

The feeling this show triggers is also ineffable. You have this peculiar feeling that some characters are a little shallow, but in reality what would you expect after sustaining either a tolerable amnesia or even a severe one? Not a chance.

Last but not least, I love the setting of this series. It just gives you this vibe of nostalgia, maybe that's just because the clinic is located in the vicinity of a forest and a lake.

Summary: This show deserves a score of a solid 10/10. Can't wait for season 2!

I'm looking forward to season 2 (with fingers crossed). This is a great show: constantly wrong-footing you; always making you want to know more, to discover what is going on. Is it some virtual reality hell? Is it a dream, or maybe it's aliens experimenting on drugged-up abductees? It's aimed at a young adult audience but heck, if only some adult shows were this grown-up!

Open Your Eyes Good acting (Karolina was the best) except Karolina and the doctor all characters were just ok and not well developed , Adam and Karolina was ok after episode 1 it becomes slow but from the end of the episode 4 it becomes very intresting 5 and 6 th episodes were masterpiece plot twists were incredible at the end brilliant concept atmosphere and bgm were good but low security , not building up for the end for ep 4 and Karolina moving on so easily was kind of illogical overall 7.7/10.

And again we obviously have quite a few reviewers reviewing the series after one or two episodes.

Well, your loss. I binged it in one afternoon, was planning to do some work next to it but really couldn't get to any mentionable progress because... the series was that good, interesting.

All i can say, nice project. For the budget - actually amazing.

The story/plot is really good & has massive potential for a big hit in my eyes. If they commit to a second season that is.

The actors were ok - who really stood out to me is the crazy girl... oh God she pulled me in.. she was amazing, I loved her.

The others were great too for their characters.

Adam's Ignacy Liss (?) has extraordinary potential to rise to a widely recognised actor, he seemed authentic in 98% of the scenes and is easy on the eye. The main actress has that smile I've seen somewhere else, or reminded me of someone... I can't put my finger on it yet, but it will come to me.

So, the plot: Girl wakes up in an institution for amnesiacs after an accident, makes friends there, falls in love & starts to doubt the institution's premise to make them 'well' again and the mind cocktail really starts in the last 2 episodes.

I was astounded. And I'd like a 2nd season please. I can't remember when I said that the last time about a movie/series plot.

Don't listen to the haters, if you get bored ... pull through - you will be rewarded the last 2 episodes.
