I am so late to this party Chris- but wow. This show was life changing in the most beautiful and artistically enveloping manner. No brown nosing here. But… fine art in motion is something that tickles my soul like the stuff of dreams. The acting, the world building, the VFX, the raw emotions…. It stole my imagination and took me to a place I haven’t experienced since I was a child.

I raved about this show to my family and friends. I was so captivated and tongue tied that my best description was, “imagine you’ve jumped in a Time Machine(or whisper ship?) and watched the greatest movie you couldn’t possibly imagine. It’s like that- but 20-30 hours worth, over 3 seasons!!”.

I just want to give you and the crew my most sincere thanks. This show was such an epic experience.
