First season was astounding, powerful, alarming, and interesting. Second season, it is obvious they fired the wriiter who was the showrunner and ended up making the entire second season forgettable.

I haven't watched any of it yet. Would you say that it's worth just watching the first series and forgetting the second, or does the second series wrap up some story lines ?

The 4 seasons are worth watching. Most of it is actually really good, but it does get weird in the last season.

I'd say it is overall worth it. Goes from Fiction to Sci-Fi

Okay, so here's the deal. This show should've had 5 seasons, not 4. Everything up till the middle point of season 4 is AMAZING. After that, they have really rushed it n made it quite illogical.

The ending is underwhelming. That being said, I would highly recommend u to watch it. The story's just really really good. Certain twists and payoffs are veeeery fascinating. Highly recommended!

I really enjoyed how they wrapped the show up, but some people didn't like the ending

It's based on a Philip K. Dick novel, but I didn't watch more than a few episodes so I can't really say how much it strays from the book.

Didn't realize Blade Runner/Androids Dream of Electric Sheep was based on fascism.

But they're a slave race that gets denied personhood despite being literally physically identical to biological humans by a mega corp that has destroyed the planet(s) (humanity has space colonies but it doesn't really come up) and has taken on the power of the state?
