Sci-fi shows are mostly played out these days and I cannot stand a lot of what is out there but 'Years and Years' did a lot to win my ex sci-fi nerd over. It is binge worthy. Brilliant plot, thought provoking but not too heavy or complicated. There's just something about how events unfolded that keeps you at the edge of your seat.

Beyond
(I) (2016–2018)
A little better than the average Sci-fi
2 January 2017
Warning: Spoilers
I found myself watching Beyond back to back solely because it's a new year and i wanted to start the year with a bang. However, it started to give me that 'The Tomorrow People' vibe after 3 episodes.
First off, i appreciate the writers for not stretching his "warm" welcome into the community for too long and for downplaying his new found celebrity status. What i don't get is how a not so confident 13 year old could gain confidence to actually socialize in a 25 year old body so quickly without giving off that Kyle XY vibe (save for the headaches and other-world memory mishaps).
After 12 years in a coma, Holden's toned body is so inexplicable lol!. I find all the ground breaking and earth shattering( i mean that in the literal sense) punches that Holden dealt his 100% human stalker a tad unrealistic, even for sci-fi as the ripple effect / damage to the earth was a little over the top. Some hoe the victims of this punch survive - HOW?
In the end, Beyond is fun to watch and the plot could not have been a lot better than it actually is. It could have been worse.
