Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Good concept, poorly executed.

A lot of fun.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

It's good till the 5th episode, then the whole thing turns into a Spielberg joke. It's based on a real person's life, so it's really disgusting that they make him out to be collaborating with the "NAZIS" to build missiles that will nuke every city in Europe. Oh please, give me a break, yawn! Then at the very end of the episode he literally turns into a werewolf. All this, after his wife is made out to be a frigid Catholic fanatic, who's own father wants to have sex with her. As well, she's conspiring against her husband with her priest. Also, the nasty Anglo Protestants that head the university are trying to ruin him. Oh, an attractive African woman is interested in him sexually, as well as his buddy neighbor whom is madly in love with him. The ritualized oral sex was interesting. Needless to say that this moronic filth can only come from the diseased inbred minds of Hollywood.

The is an excellent show that I desperately hope finds its audience. It is an excellent portrayal of 1930s California, as well as the seeds of the counter-culture movement and the ground-work for the evolutionary technological leaps of California's aerospace industry and, later, silicon valley. It is told through an examination of a Jack Parsons, a founder of the Jet Propulsion Lab (JPL) at Cal tech that would become center of the academic world for space exploration in the decades that followed.Much like Kerouac's New York of the 1950s, California in the 20s and 30s was chaffing against the "High Church" Protestant paradigm of what it meant to be 'American'. It was a hotbed of spiritualist movements, with reading groups and acolytes of Blavatsky, Gurdjieff, and Rosicrucian/Kabalist/Hermeticist, popping up on every corner. Into this mix, add the influx of serious intellect from Europe as it sought to escape Hitler's rise, and you have an extremely fertile ground for open-minded questioning of 'established truth' and important intellectual break-throughs on all fronts. You also have the ingredients of what may become a ground-breaking tv show.In general, when this period of exploration into the Western mystical tradition is treated at all in TV or Movies, it turns into a cheap excuse for regurgitating tired "Manson Family" tropes. Eastern Spiritual traditions = Good; Western Spiritual Traditions = satanic/bad. This show offers some hope avoiding that dichotomy, although I do worry it will eventually play up that angle just to grab more eyeballs. But at least the first few episodes are truly an excellent exploration of a unique cauldron of sociological, historical, and spiritual ingredients that would go on to change the world.

Starts with some Chinese medieval (or earlier) hunter, superhero - just to see that main 'hero' likes cartoons. Then, they leave factory with dirty faces after work . Were no washing rooms in California factories in those years ? I'm sure there were, this was just to make some effect - typical for inspired serials, movies ... Science part was very shallow, and was little of it. OK, title suggests something else. What will be more in E2, according to what was shown after end.I will skip rest of this. Overdone, not realistic. What is target audience ? Surely, we will see plenty of ratings 10 here. Ratings:Acting overall: 6Story: 0Direction: 4Shocking value: 10Historical value: 0

So far, very accurate and seems to have minimal speculation. Excellent acting, anyone who has an interest in science or the occult should see this, as they have always been tied together throughout history.
