I've been watching this over the past month or so after hearing about it on NPR. Apparently the story started as a podcast and was adapted by Netflix.

I think it is a decent watch. It seems to move very quickly. It is 10 parts but I think the episodes are much shorter than a normal episodic series.

I don't know if I like the story but I like watching this. It is a sensually appealing show. It isn't some panoramic beauty but the way it is shot is just interesting. Also, the sound seems like some kind of ASMR experiment.

The story is about an experimental program to re integrate veterans (real ones, not like FavreFan and Hawk) with some PTSD flags back into non military society...or is it? The story is slow and seems stretched at 10 episodes. I think the acting is great, especially by everyone not named Julia Roberts.

I recently saw it will have a second season. I have no need for that but I liked this season and I think you will too!

It was a good show. Not sure how they are going to do another season. Seemed like a good ending to me.

SEASON 1 SPOILERS

It looks like at the end they have altered the drug to be for use by the general population as a remedy to forget any uncomfortable situation by just rubbing a little on the wrist.

My guess is the will extrapolate a story from this and will also get into Geist being an agent for world domination.

I've watched the first few episodes of this show and like it so far. I wouldn't say I am "enjoying" it because every scene feels so tense. The actors playing Walter Cruz and Shreyer are really good.

Julia Roberts looks so haggard
