    Has anyone seen the show yet? It's on Netflix but I'm still on episode 4 and so far I am digging it. It's the same directors who made the Matrix trilogy.
    It involves 8 different characters who are somewhat connected to each other.

    I'm liking it too. I'm on ep.6 already (like probably one of the most greasiest ep. yet,lol) and there are still a lot of things left unanswered.

    I would also like to point out that one of the 8 character is a trans lesbian so it's definitely worth the watch!

    ^That was yesterday.

    This is today: OMGOMGOMG Why is the first season over already?! I need more!

    Also, does anyone else really love the couplings? Usually I hate at least 1 couple, but they are all so incredible! :tears:

    I am hooked! I really hope they would renew for a 2nd season please. And oh boy, Brian J Smith and Max Riemelt and ofcourse Lito with his boyfriend <3.<3

    Though, I have to say I like all of them, I don't really have a favorite but I do get excited if Sun shows up.

    I think that the characters should speak in their own native tongue when they are conversing with their own people. I just think it's more raw.

    I was going to start this topic if I hadn't found this :eusa_clap I've watched 4 eps so far and am already dreading getting to the end of the season, cuz it's fantastic so far. I'm not surprised at all how good the writing is, JMS is truly a master at his craft. out of the 110 episodes of Babylon 5 that aired, I think he wrote at least 95 of them.

    I'm on about episode 5 and I'm really enjoying it so far! The first few episodes got some pretty bad reviews online, which I was surprised about - because I think it's interesting and different.

    Can we take a moment to appreciate that even the bad guy calls Nomi by the correct name and pronouns! :slight_smile:

    Love the show! I feel like I binged too quickly and now left pacing waiting for the next season.

    The interconnected stories are so diverse and the use of different cities around the world shows a lot of culture. I kept mentally weighing which character has it worst, but the progression of ups and downs for everyone is well balanced and contrasted against each other.

    Aaaaaannnnnnddddd... Begin waiting for season two...
    The question is what do I watch now?!

    I started watching this yesterday afternoon.
    Took me at least the two episodes to get what was going on.
    Hooked on it now though.

    Worth pointing out in this forum that the Wachowskis (previously the Wachowski Brothers) are now brother and sister. Lana is Transgender :slight_smile:

    I'm on episode 10 and this show is amazing.
    While we're on the subject of LGBT netflix shows, OITNB is back!(!!) (I know there's a thread about this, I'm just really excited)

    I felt that the series lost a bit of focus towards the end. However, the series was absolutely huge for visibility. It presented Nomi as a completely normal person and highlighted some relevant issues that we have to deal with including family reactions and proper use of chosen names. This was by far the most positive portrayal of someone trans that I've seen and it made the show much better for me. It's also probably the most popular tv series that has a main character who is trans which makes the whole thing even better.
