Well - I was reviewing one title, one actor, saw this in filmography - "what the heck" - micro shows seemed like an interesting idea 4 years ago - but i did not have patience for this format then and after watching a couple of 2,3,4 5, 6 minute segments - with 1/3 of each of these being credits - I could not finish - I will second the reviewer above - maybe 20 minute sections might have been more tolerable- but the scene cut credit idea is probably only working for the advertisers - but even If this were the economical - what can a person watch while sitting and taking care of business - 54 bm's later we might be done - but this tried my patience and my patience or lack of patience prevailled - the show lost this viewer. cut them together and eliminate the credits front and back - truncate this 255min mini series weblet into 90 made for TV movie I think I might try again.

First of all this series REALLY needs a new format, full episodes of 20mins would be a amazing to see for the next season if there is one.The main actors portray an incredibly deep seated background when conversing with supporting cast members and makes you feel that they have so much going on in their lives, making this 2-5min episode series rich with 3 Dimensional characters it's hard to see any flaws, as the cast, writers and directing make this world feel believable and real.However, after binge watching the series it does become apparent that there is a lot of time shifting going on and you begin to get pretty overwhelmed with trying to track all the different sub plots within the characters lives, ranging from as far as 8 years before and then a few years after. When this happens, you become a little irritated, I have to admit! That's why I really believe this series would ultimately benefit from longer episodes. Possibly where each one concentrates on one time period at a time so that you can watch it without having to put so much effort into trying to understand the whole story through so many time shifts in such a short period, as well as getting the bigger picture in a more coherent manner.For me it just comes back to good story telling and I'm afraid this series is majorly let down solely by the format of the way it has been presented, not to mention that the credits themselves take up around 15 secs intro and then 35 secs for the ending credits. This usually leaves the episode with about 2 Min's to tell one or two little scene that to be honest feels quite pointless really. Which is such a shame as I for one was intrigued by all the characters and feel they should have more time to shine properly. I understand that this is a 'mini-series' but even grouping say 5 Ep's together would have made for a better 'episode' or chapter, and would most likely produce better cliffhanger potential. As well as earning it's place on a network to gross an actual profit! I hope this gets a bigger budget for the second season, the SFX is pretty amazing and the concept, while not entirely new, feels incredibly rich with so much potential for expansion and has such a well thought out back story, it deserves better....

lately we are seeing the rise of web series ... but are they worth it ??i can only say one thing : this show could easily hold his own against any famous TV shows... in fact i would put it along side my favorites shows like Game of thrones, walking dead, breaking bad, 24 or lost and such.. is it perfect ? No .. especially the format , a lot of people will be confused by, and irritated by, how it is edited in those 5min "episodes" ... it is very frustrating , but if you are able to use your youtube in good way it then should be too much of a trouble anymore...Maybe the acting is not "Oscar" like for All of the cast, but the main "characters" ( most important ones) are doing a very very GOOD JOB ! The plot is a little weird and going everywhere, but that is to be expected in a good sci-fi. In fact the main THEME and IDEA of the show is well developed and really refreshing. As you travel between places, cultures and time, it may get a little confusing but also very intriguing , you will discover a world which is more polished that you would expect...somehow they were able to make a very believable world with ;it seems; less budget than most TV shows around -and for that i can only again praise them for it... It a very enjoyable show that i would recommend to any TV show fan/geek, it s well rounded and i don't think anyone would be disappointed by this brief yet fascinating new experience. I hope more and more of this webserie of this quality will be comin. and of course i hope for a second season. Big up.
