Watchseries; It kills me that this show fell through the cracks of the Netflix library and was promptly buried by garbage filler content. HBO quality through and through. Supremely creative and well executed.

Maniac watchseries. What an amazing limited series by Netflix. I think Jonah Hills performance was one of his best. I enjoyed the whole vibe this series was giving. Some futuristic retroness really amplifies it all. I totally binged all 10 episodes today and am so bummed that it's over. Absolutely fantastic
Well, first, Emma Stone and Jonah Hill really are a great team. The supporting actors were exceptionally good with no flaws at all.
This series takes you to places in the world, and some places that do not seem from this world, with an amazing eye for the detail. Great cinema on the small screen.
Most important, this series plays with the simple button and light electronics of the past, because it does not need any fancy special effects. It's just amazing by itself.
Please give us more of this plain amazing acting where you don't need any strechers inbetween.
Well done, well done!
Brilliantly crafted show. The atmosphere of the series pulls you into its intriguing, eccentric retro-futuristic world. The acting is exquisite and the characters are thoroughly developed. The series is innovative, original, intelligently funny but also emotional, in a few words, it is of a high quality in every aspect of its production!
Soo good! It had kind of a "inception"/"eternal sunshine of the spotless mind" vibe going on...
Something out of the ordinary!
Psychology, anthropology, linguistics and information technology wrapped into an amazingly well-acted Sci-Fi story. At times I was confused, surprised, mystified and yet the plot was so incredibly well woven and presented. I can think of nothing better I have seen in years and watching this was time well spent.
