Today, when all kinds of sci-fi settings have been used badly, these 8 episodes will look very mediocre and not as exciting as "Black Mirror" and "Wonderful Story of the World". However, if you watch the first 7 episodes carefully, in the 8th episode, the viewing experience will have a qualitative leap.

(Sinusoidally) And now, instead of chasing a series, people want to watch the entire series in one sitting, and that requires the series to be gradual and engaging. (Proportional) Although the play does have flaws in some places, it is a next-generation exploration of narrative methods. The so-called whole is greater than the sum of the parts. (exponentially)
