Adorable, witty, funny, deep, emotional and unpredictable is the best way to describe the journey of Nikki and Jason who are trying to have a baby.
The endearing way they support and care for each other, navigating the maze of fertility, adoption and everything in between is a great example of how relationships should be.

A much needed and appreciated show!
I chose to watch this because of M Night Shyamalan’s name. The promo was promising, creepy and interesting.
The viewing experience didn’t translate into the expectation. Peppered with some well acted and crafted scenes, the story builds too slowly for a ten episode series.
The basic premise is freaky, but is soon dismantled by vague plots and unexplained twists. I am all for suspense, but the audience needs a thread to hold on to.
No conclusion in the end made it a betrayal for the viewer, which was mildly compensated by the mood, tone and background score.
In a world where humans have lost the ability to see, sight soon becomes a superstitious evil that is feared and must be eradicated.
Though the series is set in the future it looks to the past for ways to survive. Intuitive action and characters whose other senses are heightened make for an interesting watch.
There are some stellar performances by Sylvia Hoeks, Alfre Woodard and Hera Hilmarsdottir. Jason Mamoa is in top form and very convincing in the principal role.
If you are ready to consume apocalyptic content, then this should be on top of your list!
