First of My Name Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 I enjoyed it. Really interesting characters. Plot is a bit of a slow burn for some but the pay-off is definitely worth it imo. You should give it a try. First episode is a bit, uh...heavy handed with some of their messages re: racial tension in the States and stuff but bear with it, it doesn't persist through the entire season.Sun is great (and is played by the same actress as Somni from Cloud Atlas) but Riley is probably my favourite.Okay, thanks. It didn't come across particularly well in the trailer that I saw but this gives me hope, I might watch it.I should rewatch Cloud Atlas sometime.

HexMachina Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 I never watched the trailer, the concept just sounded pretty interesting. Very brief rundown of the characters for you: [spoiler] Riley; a depressed Icelandic drug addict living in London who witnesses a murder Wolfgang; a cold-hearted German safe-breaker with an exceptionally violent streak and bad family dynamics Will; an American Police officer, probably the least interesting of the characters Nomi; A transgender woman with great hacking abilities, with a mother who refuses to see her as a woman, a a loving, devoted girlfriend Sun; a Korean businesswoman whose family treats her like shit. Awesome fighting skills though. Kala; an Indian woman entering a marriage (not an arranged marriage) that she doesn't want to. She's pretty religious, but her husband-to-be and his father are, well...not. And that's to put it mildly. Lito; a big-time Mexican actor who is trying to hide his sexuality Capheus/Van Damme; a Nigerian bus driver obsessed with Jean Claude Van Damme. Has a mother with AIDS who he wants desperately to look after. [/spoiler] Okay, thanks.

I love the Cloud Atlas film Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lany Freelove Cassandra Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Greetings my lovelies! :kiss: Getting up at 5 to workout leaves one exhausted in the evenings. But I am happy to be doing it :) Also in ancestry heaven since I got my DNA results back (or it might be hell, depending :P ) it is a bit overwhelming so I have had to make myself a priority list. Dad's family first, then mom's...her Read line first (since it is almost done) but it might be a hard one to finish. I am still waiting for the "DNA Circles" as those might help some with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q the Cat Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Bouncing into the spam.... Hello spamily! I am one of those AWOL spammers, I admit it. True love has distracted me and I have never been happier - IN MY LIFE. ❤️ Congrats on the win, Bex. Sorry to see TTTNE on page two, though. I'm sitting in the airport with a big box of voodoo doughnuts to take to Spokane and literally sweeten the pot. My birthday was yesterday, and I missed coming in here. I had a lovely dinner with my kids and my love, in spite of a rough day at work. I even received a lovely text from our very own king Tyrion! I hope you are all doing well and spam it up, for crying out loud! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand Moff Mithrandir Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 No, this is not how it should have happened.
