Lavish mini-series is basically what you'd expect from Alex Garland: striking visuals, big themes, slightly bemusing plot. A computer engineer in a Silicon Valley tech firm discovers her boyfriend's apparent suicide was actually murder, connected to a secret project which threatens to change human perceptions of the universe forever.

The ideas of the series - about free will, determinism, the nature of the universe and of destiny - are undeniably fascinating and well-presented, and the acting is generally very good too. The rather glacial pace and borderline pretentiousness of some of it are more of a problem, but they should come as no surprise to anyone who's seen Annihilation or Ex Machina. Starts slow, but it will get its hooks into you as it goes on.
