Lynda B @Lyndastarb 1 day ago Fantastic. It leaves you wanting more. It’s smart, creative, funny, quirky but not too much and heartfelt with life lessons. The acting and writing are great. Best new show on tv. See more Johan J @RT30589486 2 days ago This is just awful. Created by people that are completely morally bankrupt trying to paint companies as evil while making excuses for real criminals. See more Howard M @RT16604671 2 days ago Great pilot. Excited to see where this goes. There’s more mystery simmering underneath these tech bros. See more R T @RT03890921 2 days ago Loved the pilot. Fun and refreshing for network TV. See more L.
