*cough* Defiance *cough*

Plenty of poetry / short story anthology that only have thematic links — plenty more tenuous than hardbitten law enforcement types solve murders while grappling with existential anxiety. I'd say this counts.

Anthology show gonna anthology.

I still remember her as Madame La Plunge from Let The Eat Cake. She's amazing.

I really like Alison Steadman, but I think she's miscast here. She's not a particularly convincing hard bitten prison mother, unfortunately.

(and whose cabin is literally decorated only with weapons)

So is James Murray gone now? Seems strange that he'd have such a perfunctory exit, given all the lose ends with Pottinger and the Kenya Clone.

She straight up says it early on, either episode one or two.

And there were great finales before this too — Die Me, Dichotomy (Farscape), Kobol's Last Gleaming (BSG), The Telling (Alias) — just to mention a few shows operating in the same genre.

Apparently all Netflix shows have long credits so that the episodes can buffer properly. Makes sense.

I bet she regrets her episode of the X-Files though.

She's a hacker working for corporate. She's probably loaded.

Just to be safe, I think the best answer here is no.

Selyse says as much in the episode itself — without that food, they'd have all starved. One way or the other, Shireen would have died.

I don't think that's how directors work with television productions. You'd want to lay blame at the feet of John Logan, who writes every episode, or perhaps a producer.

The entire hospital of people completely on board with forcibly lobotomizing Nomi. She's lucid, completely rational and present, she's saying stop, I don't want to do this. Stop Stop Stop, nope fifty people decide there's nothing morally troubling about lobotomizing her. What is this To Kill a Mockingbird?

Yeah, probably. The show's slow to ramp up the action, though it gets there, and the show is slow to properly introduce some of its cast (understandable, given its size), so plots for one or two of the characters don't get going until about episode three.

Fuck sakes. Plenty of other people have pointed out that you're terrible, and I'm gonna do that too, but "pro-eunuch agenda?" That wet strap on slapping onto the floor wasn't just to disgust and dissuade shitheads from continuing onwards, dude, but was to make the point that yes: Nomi is a woman, and yes, her sexual…

The characters are literally: a trans woman struggling with societal acceptance,

It's pretty damn good. It's working with a large canvas, so it takes a little while to differentiate the plot from the brushstrokes, but once you've done that, it's smooth sailing. Builds to a satisfying climax, with decently developed characters.
