6/10 FAIR 3 episodes in and I’m enjoying it so far, a great idea and being played out very well. For some people it might seem slow and on the subtle side, but I like this, as long as it pays of in the long run. Not ever show has to be full of bangs and wallops, followed by loads of stunts. For some the machine is a blessing and gives them the push to become what they should have been, for others the machine brings disappointment and heartache……

nice premise, started fresh but it gets boring really quick, 8 episodes in and most can be fast-forward or skip them completely. Every episode has the same format. Nothing interesting. It needs a big WOW moment.

Really enjoy the cast top to bottom and promising first episode but over half of the season over and it's just...meandering? The episodes quickly started to feel like aimless discursions Could live with the going-nowhere-slowly plot but that the character explorations are very shallow and surface deep

Very good, with an interesting plot shown in the form of intrigues and life stories in relation to the potentials of each one compared to what they do today.

First show was good, second show was great, too bad we won't get a third season, it might have been excellent ;(

First thing on Apple TV that I’ve totally lost interest in before the end of the first season so I’m shelving it..

This show is actually amazing (especially season 2) but to fully appreciate it you need to understand it's not about the Morpho, the cards, the mystery - it's really just about the people. These flawed, quirky, hopeful characters and their relationships to one another.

[tv+] There is an interesting approach to what we are and what we aspire to, lost dreams and lives stuck in a job that doesn't define us. And how the revelation of a supposed real vocation made by the Morpho card ends up transforming the way people look at themselves and at others. But it is infected with the weaknesses of a good part of the Apple comedies, a kind of positivist tone but with a script that gets entangled in the stories of each character without finding its objective. The series would need a Morpho card to know what it really wants to be.

A decent dramedy with decent acting but I understand the low ratings. I stuck with it waiting for the big reveal at the end I was disappointed.

Interesting show that kept you waiting and hoping for something MORE...and it never did deliver anything beyond the first 3 or 4 episodes. Watched all episodes, but won't be back for a season 2. 6.5/10

This show has a lot of wasted potential…

After you have watched the first two episodes stop because nothing happens after that

If you come in expecting a sci-fi mystery, you might find yourself a bit disappointed. It's really more of a quirky small-town character study, and on that front, it does a terrific job.

I wrote about this show for the Ignyte-winning, Hugo-winning blog Nerds of a Feather: http://www.nerds-feather.com/2023/05/the-big-door-prize-will-make-you.html

Georgio is hilarious. It has a good premise and thought provoking results coming from the machines results. However it slowly turns into an example of how to have a bad marriage and be poor parents, and sbowcases a lot of weak and unlikeable people. Second season really amps this up too

Interesting premise, great potential but alot of gillung. I am fast forwarding 60% of the episodes to get passed the touchy-feely-whiney dialogs and get to the core plot. I didn't like that most men are depicted as doughy spineless losers. Seen up to ep3 as we speak 5.5/10, with potential to get to 7/10 i f they cut the fat and actually advance the plot

having your entire life potential focused around an occupation is silly
