Dang. That blows. This is a really good show. Smart, innovative, well acted, and based on Gibson's best-selling material. It just kills me how adaptations of his works seem to always whither on the vine. Also sad that every show that doesn't hit super-mega streamed numbers just gets tossed in the bin.
Yeah it was one of the better things they had going. Would easily pull the lotr or wot series as they were not very in line with the literature. At least this was its own creation (or im just unaware of what book series it comes from so was not disapointed.)
Yeah, it's from two published books so far, called the "Jackpot" series. The Jackpot is a Black Swan Event that decimates the population in the future and creates a new kind of techno-oligarchical society. These future oligarchs are in constant conflict with each other and as such develop a way in which to infiltrate the past through VR sims to alter their destiny.
