I love this show. Very touching, beautiful, thoughtful. I would say that the series is about art, the craving of humanity for creativity and contemplation of creativity. And it's about how this art and creativity connect us all in the end. And for me personally, it's a story about human kindness. The post-apocalypse here is surprisingly human and therefore seems more realistic than the versions in which humanity instantly and irrevocably plunged into chaos, and this is one of my favorite details in this series. The actors play very convincingly, pleased a lot of fresh, uneasy faces, especially Matilda Lawler, who played the role of young Kirsten. I think her performance was even more to my taste than her partner in the role of a grown-up heroine, although Mackenzie Davis was also good. In addition to the drama of the post-apocalypse (and not only) in the series surprisingly a lot of humor ("Frank, will you be in my play?", "... well, who else is in it?"). Dramatic moments are very skillfully emphasized by music, existing songs, or original compositions written specifically for the series (Doctor eleven after watching I added to the playlist, such a beautiful melody). Originally selected costumes, the characters walk in whatever they want, sometimes it seems that it is just the extravagance of itinerant actors and musicians around whom the plot revolves, but then you realize that the twentieth year after the end of civilization, you do not have to choose much and the appearance has long lost its importance to functionality. Personally, I only found a couple of flaws for myself, namely the character of Tyler and Alex. The last of the series only did that infuriated his rebellious antics. There seems to be a parallel between her relationship with Kirsten and Kirsten’s relationship with Jivan (Kirsten understands firsthand what it was like for Jivan to care for her), but I don’t think it’s the same. Kirsten, even at the age of eight or nine, did not respect Jivana, she valued him. Alex just wants to escape Kirsten’s suffocating custody, along with the first random, who had the patience to maintain a conversation with her. What in the end she does, and the tablecloth is dear to her, it is a pity only the horse took with him. Tyler for half of the series seems to be trying to justify before the viewer and build him a kind of arch of cleansing reputation. He never stabbed his stepfather, although there was a possibility, the suicide kids at the golf club were also kind of not his responsibility. But this does not change the fact that for almost twenty years he built around his personality a cult of abducted children (albeit by deception, not by force). The scene, when he and Elizabeth are hiding in the woods and behind them are tens and dozens of children looks simply creepy. In any case, I have already watched the series several times, and I will continue to watch it again at some time, so it captivated me.
