Amazing subtelty and profound introspection
The movie is an excellent presentation of the link between alcohol and personal drama, and the importance of not estranging friends and family. The reason I find it amazing, however, is the beautiful subtelty with which dramatic events occur: nothing is explicit, you infer what's happened during long periods of time or what's bound to happen sooner or later. A nice splash of positivity at the end makes the movie slightly more distant from what real life may bring, but fits in well.

Juicy fun
This was fun. Probably because it was meant to be fun, it doesn't take itself seriously. It might be a new genre since so many movies in this spirit have been recently made. The best description of this genre are: gory thriller with comedic effect exactly where tragedy should surface. Honestly I think I'm gonna watch it again instead of Home Alone for Christmas.

Terrible
The dialogue was unbearable. Stopped the movie after 30 minutes. The idea is worth exploring, but the execution is so bad at trying to be mysterious that it makes you actually angry. Just don't waste your time giving it a shot, watch something else.

EPIC show leaving people wanting to know more
The show is amazing just because it forces you to imagine the incredible adaptation process the human body and society goes through after such a dramatic premise: a virus takes vision from our world.
After making an effort (big or small depending on the viewer's intellect) of trying to figure out what makes the world work, you'll surely find answers. The first episode does its best to evidentiate how carefully picked out people with higher sensorial abilities are used in combat. It also shows the limits of motion and ability to fight. Recognition of members in your group based on substances smeared on one's face combined with hightened smell sense. Loss of sight increases all other senses.
The plot is excellent, the universe is post apocalyptic giving a feeling of a Mad Max style world with beautiful Canadian landscapes. Rulers hang on to their kingdom with religon but at the same time you feel that there's no richness in this rule, just frail power which subjects gurdgingly accept.
Why care what people are dressed with? Rags found in ruins, stuff made by themselves, who cares?
The fighting is awesome, you can't possibly predict what the outcome will be in any scene, you are just struck in awe by warriors' abilities when they do fight, and of course their courage.
No episode is easy to see, since once you get hooked and care for the characters it's the "not knowing enough" about the context that makes you want to keep watching.
Also culturally it's pretty cool, I did not know of Quipu up to now. It's that knot based writing style, it's there in our history. If makes me ask myself how the world ended befor the emegence of the new people. Did it end all of the sudden, or did people have enough time to pass knowledge to their children born blind.
In my opinion you shouldn't miss this series, it has dramatic conflict and gritty adventures. Violence is not gratuitous.
Enjoy!.
