Is it for me?
Sci-fi mystery fans who liked Westworld will enjoy working out the rules here, though the jargon comes thick and the villains stay thin. Inside a sim, Flynne is ordered to seduce and then kill a woman, and it feels far too real. Later a hideout holds a grandfather clock and a miniature of her own trailer, with tiny figures standing in it.
Before you start
The first two episodes spend their time setting up both worlds, and the rules start to click around episode three, so give it that long.
1 season, 8 episodes, 63 min each, about 8 hours so far
