I finally caught up with this show. It's a slow start. So many characters. It felt like too much. But you get used to them by the end. So many good interlinked scenes. I thought it worked really well. And the

was perfect.

I was really upset at the end

I am a Babylon 5 anorak and a JMS fangirl all day long. This is a JMS production as much as a Wachowskis production and you can tell.

I binge watched it in a day and it was the way to watch it. I was hooked and I hnave thoroughly enjoyed the first series. How cleverly it was made. I love the way

The way it was filmed and edited was so clever and it just worked. I love it that we learn with the characters and this makes it enthralling. I can't wait for series 2.

I finally finished this, binge watched it all in about 3 nights. LOVED IT.

Not often I use caps but it was just the best thing I have watched for ages in new shows, better than OITNB even. I really hope it gets a season 2.

I think it will.

However, the slow start might make it hard to build a huge following.

It might take a while for others to stick with it.

Caught episode 5. My goodness, so many fantastic moments and interactions throughout that episode. Easily my favourite one yet.

I also nearly gave up after the first episode but there was just enough story telling to keep me going and what I found was that even though nothing really happened for the first 6 episodes I really liked the 8 characters and it was so refreshing. It wasn't until they all started to get involved which each others lives that I was got engaged and by that time I was completely invested in what happened to every one of them.

Best line and reaction was from Lito and Will, 'do I know you?', 'We had sex, it was special'
Will's face cracked me up!

The ending felt like just the beginning so I hope enough people stuck it out for a second season.

Just spent the last three evenings watching eps 1-12. I have to say it was one of the most interesting and well made programs I have watched in a long time.

I don't mind admitting that I found it a rollercoaster ride of emotions myself. It's been a while since I've laughed and cried from watching a TV program.

Roll on season 2.

I agree for the most part they handled the LGBT stuff great. I also found it a rollercoaster and grew to love all 8 of them.

I can't remember what happens in individual episodes. But that would be because I was watching 3 episodes at a time. Found it a little slow to get going but once it did

it hit the ground running. Had to pace myself and keep the last two episodes back.

Loved it, it has everything - romance, raunch, action, mystery, fabulous locations and decent acting.

This series was great and should definitely get a second season. I thought episode 1 was great. I can usually tell from the first episode whether a series is going to be good or not and this was

Episode 9 really got to me as well. Too many teat inducing moment. Riley's backstory, Capheus's backstory with his baby sister. Nomi and Lito bonding over their pain and loneliness. This show is genuinely a work of art.

I hope it will be good news, Netflix will have my eternal support/respect if they renew this show.

JMS says that Netflix will make a decision on a second season within the next two weeks. Said that the show has done well both domestically and internationally.

This show must be renewed.

It's beautiful, moving and intelligent.
