Author needs to learn to show, not tell :/

“I am sorry, and we don’t really know. All we have is probability. We don’t have surety. We just like to feel like we are Gods.”

i’m speechless after reading this show. it is so interesting and has so many comments about our contemporary society even though the show is set in the future. there are a lot of interesting conversations about genetics, population control, and technology. this reminds me a bit of the nether in the sense that there is something deeper going on with the technology and there is some moral ambiguity in it. i just wow there are so many ideas in here but it doesn’t feel overwhelming and it is so well thought out and written.
