Didn't see any thread for this, so doubtful anyone else here watches it, but..

I'm on the final episode of the first season and I must admit I've been pleasantly blown away with how good this show is. It took me years to fully appreciate the film version, even after seeing it when it was first released, so I was skeptical at best as to how they were going to pull this off as a multi-season show, but it's been one hell of a ride so far. Probably the most mind-boggling television series I've ever seen, the way they leap back and forth through time as the narrative unfolds. Definitely nothing else like it, ever.

The second season just wrapped up about a month ago (I think) and Madelaine Stowe, who played the doctor in the film version, shows up at the end of the season apparently. They've renewed it for a 10-episode third season even though its not doing anything, ratings-wise.

Highly recommended though for anyone who digs Blade Runner or any of that other crazy science fiction shit. The way the saga of this thing unfolds, even just in the first season, is pretty incredible. Can't wait to see what the second -- and eventually the third -- season holds..

I am not watching the series, but somehow this part from the movie appeared in my mind and it is so strong... what is my subconsciousness trying to tell me?

"I want the future to be unknown. I want to become a whole person again. I want this to be the present. I want to stay here... in this time... with you."
