Murilo B @Murilo2026 Jul 29, 2026 Film: 5, Screenplay: 5, Acting: 5, Directing: 5, Heart: 5, I found the series very original. Reese and Harold are great characters. The early seasons were incredible. After the introduction of Samaritan, the story was rushed too much. I found that a shame, as there was so much story left to tell.
