I watched this compelling, wildly imaginative series in spite of a very unimpressive trailer, because there were so many raves, and it's one of the best decisions I made. The very human moment in the first scene was more compelling than anything in the trailer, and the series did a great job throughout of combining deep felt humanity with high-concept sci-fi and philosophizing about the nature of existence.
The first season was brilliant, and if season 2 had been more of the same I would have been fine with it, but instead, it all grew in imagination and narrative daring, culminating in a final episode that is so sweeping and vast that it's just so wild to think back to that first scene and realize this was where it would wind up.
According to wikipedia, this series was cancelled after one season even though the second season was already finished, but we got both seasons in the end and it's a very satisfying wrap up (I would say there was no place left to go but the writers have proven that their imagination far eclipses mine).
Watch this.
