Yes other reviewers are right about the script, the acting. You will find yourself shouting 'Johhhhhhhhh' at random intervals. None of it stands to much scrutiny, cyber command look like they've never seen a computer before, and everyone seems to argue all the time or have long meaningful conversations. But it's all great fun if you just get out the popcorn and suspend belief.

A little bit murder on the Orient Express crossed with Speed if it were an episode of Coronation Street where someone had accidentally put too many zeros on the budget. I liked it wasn't violent unlike many of the recent streaming offerings, no bad language, had several plot twists, and enough budget had been spent on the production that even if the script had a bus replacement service, the train hurtled along convincingly enough.

We've just finished all four series over a month. I avoided watching it for several years as my wife isn't overly into nazi style films. I agree with others that it is close to a masterpiece if slightly flawed. The cinematography is exceptional, atmospheric, and totally believable. The acting is excellent with strong well written main characters. John Smith is particularly nuanced. Yes it does meander a bit in series 3 &4, but never lost our attention. Without any spoilers I found the ending a bit disappointing. But overall that doesn't take away from an ambitious unique project. Highly Recommended.

The story of our time and pretty much exactly what's happening with climate change. A great cast and some wonderful satire. Perhaps a little bit too long. But well worth watching.
