Osmosis

I have seen many negative reviews on it, so I felt like it needed some back-up here, since I find it well done, as another reviewer put it: Osmosis has lots of great ingredients that make up for a good series. I find the acting pretty good, the pacing, the images, the script. Besides the fact that we don't see familiar faces in terms of well-known TV or big screen actors (but hey, that's a good thing, since we could discover lots of fresh, new talents), I can't see many flaws. Two thumbs up from me.

The concept will keep you watching. The delivery will leave you wanting. - NOTE: always watch these in the original language. It's just better and doesn't make the acting seem awful.

The show seemed to have a hard time locking down what part of the story it wanted to focus in on: the family ties? Love in general? The test subjects experience? The love story of the CEO? The office drama? The competitive drama?

I felt lost watching. I kept wondering, "So how are they going to tie this back in?" Turns out, they didn't, or they did it in the least impactful way.

The first episodes are usual information vomiting- this was no different.

The overall show had Black Mirror vibes running through it, but it lacked a central theme and depth. This led to it being lackluster.

The final episode wasn't satisfying and really missed an opportunity to explore some amazing storylines- however, we already had too many to focus on.

Stick to black mirror, sense 8, or OA. I hear the new twilight zone will be good.

Osmosis has a interesting premise, an implant that allows someone to find their soul mate. While testing, the breeder finds the possibility to help her mother in a coma, going against ethics. Although, the development is quite a disappointment. No interesting plot-twist. The ending feels like unfinished, because the problems that arise during the series are not sufficiently explored.

I'm finished 6 out of 8 episodes for season 1. So far, the sci-fi aspects of it are intriguing enough to keep me watching, but it's wrapped around an extremely dubious misconception of what constitutes love. Lots of over-the-top orgy and skin scenes. I will be putting this on the back burner for possible later completion.

If you want a mellow sci fi which is still very enjoyable to watch, this is your show. If you love fast paced shows and need something different to watch in the meantime, this is your show. Great concept. Lovely on its own and also doubles as a palate cleanser. The music choice is atypical and really creates a feel good vibe! I really wished they gave it at least one more season.
