Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Made for sci-fi fans. If you loved Silo or The Handmaid's Tale, start here. Critics rate it higher than audiences do, so it rewards patience more than it chases thrills.
The mood: Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace: One season: easy to finish in a weekend or two, hour-long episodes, about 6 hours in all.
What might put you off: Rated TV-MA: meant for adults.
Audiences were cooler on it than critics.
