I usually write off most cable network shows, but the dynamic between the two leads and their acting is top notch and so far it has pretty excellent world building (I’m almost done with season 1).

It also does a really good job of combining spy thrillers, family dramas, and sci fi dramas into one.

Considering it got cancelled after its third season, I’m prepared to be let down with the ending but looking forward to where they go with it.

It’s also done an excellent job of giving the wife of the main lead plenty of agency and development separate from him.

Wonder if anyone who has seen it has any thoughts or other cable TV shows I might have written off.

I watched it a few years ago. It wasn't bad, but it was very much like "What if white people had to suffer through the same police harassment and limited options that People of Color do? thinkin-lenin "

Which may have been on purpose, because season 3 felt very much like a dig at neo liberalism and silicon valley "innovation." Lol then again I just looked up the show runners and one was a guy from Lost and the other was from House of the Dragon. So idk maybe not.😅

As far as TV series that don't get enough credit, I always recommend Damnation. catgirl-heart

O I forgot about this show. I gave up somewhere in season 2 and didn't pick it back up for whatever reason.

Haven't heard of it, but the Wikipedia description sounds interesting. Sounds like aliens turn Earth into a bunch of little Gaza's?
