Osmosis

I know most people say that it has an interesting starting and then it runs slowly, but maybe these people have not seen the episodes 4-8. As far as I am concerned, I find the pace okay, as it gives us the opportunity to get to know the characters and mostly the testers, as well as it provides us with an interesting plot. So people: stick to the show till the end, and give it a chance, even if you find it dull. Of course, maybe it just fits better to me and not all people have the same taste. Definitely recommended to french learners, as the vocabulary is quite simple and they use a lot of everyday language which will help you to get familiar with the pace of the language.

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.

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.

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.

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.
