I love this movie so much

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

A great beginning. It is a story that keeps asking questions and the lead actor is brilliant. I love the way that bringing the Howard's together shows what an impact the choices we make effect our lives. All great Science Fiction is really Philosophy in Motion.Nice to see intelligent Sci Fi getting a run.

As i'm writing this I have watched 5 episodes and i think season 1 has 10 episodes total.My first instinct when i started watching the show was to find out the book and it's author that the show is based on. Turns out, it's not based on any book or previous show - it's a Starz original, quite literally.JK SImmons plays the lead character(s) and he does an amazing job. His character (Howard Silk) exists in two dimensions as two different people. Instead of relying on clothing or a scar or facial hair to convey which version of Howard you're looking at, JK Simmons uses the subtlety of facial expression, posture, even gait. As for the other actors, they are all excellent. The dystopian backdrop is strong and mood-creating. Direction, cinematography, dialogue, etc are all great. The genre i guess is "spy" "thriller" "drama". Don't expect James Bond action and gimmicks. I'm sure there are some great examples of comparable shows/movies but the only ones i can think of right now are maybe 12 Monkeys and Brazil and they probably aren't very good examples. If you're not drawn into it in the first 1 or 2 episodes, this may not be the show for you. In other words, what you see at the start is what you get, which i like. Again, i'm only finished episode 5 of 10, so i cant speak on that point for the entire series.

First 5 episodes, culminating in the exquisite 5th, featuring Howard & Howard ... off the charts brilliant. Every award possible for J.K. Simmons. Starting right off with episode 6 to the end with a greatly diminished Howard/Howard ... straight into les toilettes. Sad

I have watch entire season 3x already each time I watch it I learn something new
