HBO Max’s 4-Part Sci-Fi Series Is A 10/10 With Zero Weak Episodes

Look, I love a good fictional story as much as anyone, but let’s be honest: it requires a little bit of willing self-deception. We have to agree to go along with the unbelievable to really enjoy it, and when a story truly works, it’s exhilarating and can push creative boundaries. However, that very same act of make-believe also opens it up to a different kind of criticism. Because we know it’s not real, we tend to hold these stories to an oddly high standard of internal consistency and plausibility, almost as if they could be real. It’s a fascinating paradox.
