I think what finally did it for me was the scene in Ep 10 where Juliana and Frank are watching one of the films and they see Frank being executed by Joe in the film.

Seems silly and kind of ridiculous. Billions of people in the world and they just happen to see a film that has two people they know in it? That kind of coincidence just smacks of lazy, sloppy writing to me.

For that matter, 10 episodes in and these films that are the "macguffin*" in this series have yet to be explained, not only where they come from but why they are significant. Is there some secret "resistance" plan? If so, what is it?

I mean, I get keeping some details cryptic and unknown - that often happens in good fiction. But dang, we're 10 episodes in and I honestly have no idea what is going on with the resistance. What are they doing? What is their master plan?

Then there's the way they concluded ep. 10 with trade minister Tagomi waking up in an alternative universe where the allies WON the war? This is where it veers off into cheesy sci-fi land.


* In fiction, a MacGuffin (sometimes McGuffin) is an object, device, or event that is necessary to the plot and the motivation of the characters, but insignificant, unimportant, or irrelevant in itself
