Featured reviews
Obviously, there are some holes in the plot as there are numerous other series. I have not read the books, so I'm not familiar with what to expect but generally, it was a very well produced acted and filmed miniseries. The acting was good quality. There were lots of twist and turns, and it was very difficult to predict what was going to happen. I may be interested in taking a look at the book or books if there are books as I'm not familiar with the author I would recommend considering this for a watch as I had to binge watch it I was that interested in it , Jennifer Connolly was very good as was Joel Edgerton.
Let me start by saying that I read a book years ago and the plot has always stuck with me. Over the years I forgot what the book was called or the subplots but I never forgot how it made me feel. It was such an incredible idea that I felt like everyone could identify with. That maybe you had regret over one decision in your life and what would your life be like had you made a different decision? I've described the plot to so many people but have never been able to recall the title. It's driven me nuts for such a long time because I've talked about it so much. Yah, Google I get it but I just never tried.
I started watching this and as it unraveled I thought, no, did someone copy that book's plot and then write a show? It was so similar I thought, that can't be a coincidence. And of course it isn't. It is the book!! Well, slight differences but overall the idea is the same.
I love this adaptation and of course some of my favorite actors added to an amazing experience. Mostly I am just over the moon that Blake Crouch did the adaptation so the feel is very similar. This time I feel there is much more psychology involved in how our past can affect our futures and it's all so fascinating. Love, love, love!!!

I just watched the first two episodes and I am already hooked. Imagine waking up one day and the world as you know it has changed.
Beautifully constructed. There is a mixture of suspense, drama, and thrill. It's the type of confusing that builds curiosity rather than making you feel completely lost.
I like the question the show asks... could one choice really make your life so very different? If you ever had a thought like that, you'll enjoy this. I think that's why I connected to the story so much.
This show is one of the best sci-fi shows out there right now. I can't wait to see where it goes.

Blake Crouch's book Dark Matter comes to life in this Apple TV series. I bought the book last summer but only read it after seeing the show's preview. Thanks to Blake Crouch's multiple roles as producer, writer, and creator, the series is well done and stays faithful to the novel's tone, storyline, places, themes, and even some dialogue was lifted straight from the pages of the book. Having read the book, I worried the TV series might be predictable, but Crouch made enough changes to keep it fresh and riveting. For example, the book barely touches on Jason 2's life after taking over Jason 1's, so the show's exploration of this was a welcome addition. Although there's some questionable casting choices made that differ from the characters in the book, the cast performed beautifully.
For those who got bored after a couple of episodes, I disagree with the advice to stick with it because it gets better. I thought the series was exceptional from the start and the overarching tonality of the show stayed pretty consistent throughout. So, if you didn't like the first two episodes, you probably won't like the rest. I loved it. But maybe, just maybe, somewhere in the multiverse, another version of me is writing a very different review. And I'm OK with that.

This show is incredible! I ordered the book after just seeing 3 episodes. I'm a huge fan of the movie " Coherence " and this show just took it up a notch and more. Everything was just done perfectly. The actors and actresses expressions were on point. Joel Edgerton is an incredible actor, he played every version of the character to perfection. The sound effects used were excellent. The story is great and the way that they explained the concepts of SuperPosition and being in Luminal was phenomenal. The show explores parallel realities in a way no other movie or show has down before.
The concept of using ampules to enter luminal is sick because from a manifesting point of view the ampule is just removing your doubt and then you can shift between realities. So essentially if you remove your doubt you can enter luminal and then you're in SuperPosition. Many manifestation teachers have talked about the same thing (Parallel Realities) for years. It was awesome to see it visually in a show like this.
I can't wait to see what happens in the final episode. I hope they make another 5 seasons of this show.
Ryan, Amanda, And Leighton can each have an entire season just based on what they experienced after entering the box.

- TriviaBased on the book of the same title by Blake Crouch.
- GoofsAt several points Jason uses the "Schrodinger's cat" thought experiment to demonstrate his theories of quantum superposition. Schrodinger actually intended his thought experiment as a criticism of quantum superposition, and the idea that the cat was both alive and dead was supposed to be absurd.
