This is An Alternative Universe People!

Warning: Spoilers
It says it right in the title. Yes, you have to pay attention. Yes, it jumps around. But it's really not that hard to follow as far as timelines as they are put on the screen for you at least on the beginning.

Hubby and I were invested with the first episode. We then watched two, but saving 3 for later. I find that because I pause movies sometimes to explain some things to him (he's deaf), it helps my understanding.

Possible spoilers: I started noticing some things that were "off", like a sign over a store with a 215 area code, when this is set in NYC. 215 is a Philly area code. Or that she said the baby was now 2 months old and that baby is way too big, more like at least a 5 month old (yes, I know movies often use older babies, especially for newborns, which are clearly no longer newborns), but I think the fact that she states the baby's age is another clue something is off. The other is technology. Now, unless I missed a timeline, there is no way that the phones should be shaped the way they are or computers should have flat screens. More like the old clunky ones and the phones should be flip ones.

These things really threw me and took me out of the show until I realized we're seeing an alternative universe, where, maybe, technology advanced faster and babies can bite you while teething at only 2 months old and looking like a 5 month old. I think the white father's are descendants of the Norwegians on that ship and pursued the women for a specific reason.

Anyway, were enjoying it and my vote is a 7.5.
