The central premise, which is revealed some time in episode 3 or 4 ("we can't tell them the truth because they will all kill themselves if they find out, so we'll just have to carry on with this stupid farce") is flimsy beyond belief, and without it everything else falls apart. It's very difficult to "suspend disbelief" and just enjoy the story when the plot is so full of holes and the characters behave so irrationally. I've always wondered, is it really impossible for the people who greenlight these series to just read the script and tell right away that the series is going to be rubbish, so it should not be made?

The plot of the first episode (National Anthem) is undeniably the work of a diseased imagination. The portrayal of the reactions to the central event of everyone involved, and of the public in general, is absurd and insulting. I am surprised that so many excellent actors have agreed to participate in this crass stupidity.

Looks very pretty but getting through it was a slog. Didn't care about any of the characters. The plot was plodding at best. A big disappointment, I've come to expect so much better of Netflix.

Emotionally engaging characters, intelligent and involving plot, good acting, plenty of action. What more can you ask for? I was completely blown away by the ending of the final episode and my thoughts kept returning to it the next day. Probably the best thing I've seen since Breaking Bad.
