So Gugu is beautiful, and a good actress. First episode is a bit slow but she's pretty hypnotic and carries you through as it delves into intrigue. At the moment it's suspenseful but not really unpredictable. Quite interesting/beautiful filming style, but some bits of film are unbelievable. As a person that had short term memory loss (after severe Malaria) the disorientation is shown well, but certainly people are more helpful than those I see in this series... Which isn't necessarily a bad thing - it makes you suspect some form of conspiracy.
I'm only on second episode and I'm keen to continue watching but it doesn't feel like there will be anything too unsurprising really.. possibly plot idea is good but not quite intricate enough.
Should you watch it? Well, nice eye candy and not painful to watch, but I don't think you'll be missing something ground breaking of you don't watch it.

A well made (special effects perfect) amd acting top notch. Really love 2 main leads and the police are both amusing and interesting in the way they operate completely differently to what you'd expect. Those criticising the science must live in a dream world.. like all good science fiction, the science is not real but a cohesive reality has been created. Absolutely loved the first episode and completely drawn in.
My recommendation: watch 1 and see how you feel. So, some don't like it but I think it's a gem.

I wasn't going to watch this.. seemed to whimsical. However the lead actors are superb, esp. The inventor. Portrays a man uncomfortable in himself, nervous but with drive and a good heart. His characterisation esp. At the start is sad and beautiful. The robot he invents is funny, and somewhat like an adolescent teenager. The views of Wales are spectacular and heart warming.
This won't win film of the year as mot sufficiently high brow. Yep, the bad family in the village are 2 dimensional and the ending is a little 'Walace and Gromit', but I was intrigued, touched and tickled throughout. This was definitely a film worth making and worth seeing now and 50 years from now. While the story is simple, the filming, directing and characterisation of the lead characters os spot on. I could have watched 5 hours of this film.
Don't watch it if you are looking for a complex story, action or horror, but do watch this if you want something that will warm your heart in an original and amusing way.
