Only two seasons? Obviously not simple enough for most viewers. And not enough plot cliches. I watched every episode of the two seasons and never felt cheated or regarded as too dumb to follow the story. However, if you're looking for science-fiction, this is not it. The parallel worlds element is kept in the background. These episodes were character driven and shined with excellent acting and great scripts -- a lot about relationships, who we think we are, and how others see us. I have always been a J.K. Simmons fan, but I've never seen him so good. And the rest of the cast deserve equal praise for what they delivered. Yes, it could get a little confusing at times, but nobody I know nodded off through any of it.

I am in the last 11 minutes of Season 2 Episode 10 and wanted to see when the next season was. I fell across this show on Amazon Prime and was completely engaged as soon as I started watching. LOVE J.K. Simmons, so I knew it would be good, but I had no idea how good. So many other talented actors just made it even more fun to watch.

VERY sad it is not continuing, and shallow no-brain shows like Survivor, Bachelor and Kardashians are still on. 👎🏻

This was like the best,most original,excellent cast,excellent story,excellent writing and really just entirely fantastic acting. Why would they cancel a show that is so good? Who makes these ridiculous decisions. It was so unique and so entertaining that really irritates me that it was cancelled.

I suppose I am not surprised at a lot of the negative reviews here. This is a subtle show. If you like your science fiction without starships, loud photon torpedoes and men throwing cars at one another --then this might well be for you!

The direction, acting and script are all top notch. The pilot episode gave a taste of everything you can expect form the series, whereas the series has settled into a slow reveal as it answers the questions posed in the first episode.

J.K.Simmons is exceptional. The subtle changes in personality, bearing and voice he portrays, enable the viewer to see the different characters even from a distance. None of the other actors (so far) have to try their hand at this form of subtlety, but JK (an actor I've always liked) is brilliant at it.

The setting is superb. Berlin is such a refreshing change as a backdrop to this story and the truly international cast also bring something to the table that is not in a lot of other shows these days.

As I said earlier, this may not be for everyone, but if you like good acting, great locations, good production values and a slow burn, solid story then this is for you!

In the days of trash TV designd for ill educated simpletons a show like this never had a chance, shows like "blind spot" and "Lucifer" get countless formulaic seasons boring people to tears whilst Stars go and Cancel the one good show that's been put together in years, obviously top drawer acting and locations are simply not enough to keep the brain dead masses entertained, the shows cancellation really was a crying Shame
