I saw first 3 episodes, waiting for the final 2 episodes of season 1 to be released tonight.
It's a well thought out, fascinating and imaginative story. It helps us understand the evolution of religious beliefs in response to the world around us as stories and games we needed to tell our kids and ourselves to survive, stay together and make sense of this life (ep. 03, s01: Virtual Faith) due to our hardwired nucleus accumbens.
I love the symbolism of Mithraism and aspects of belief cementing explored, which is what our attention should be focused on. I shared this recommendation with my friend Ferhad Jamshed Nilgiriya who is a Zoroastrian Parsi that will be happy to see his faith celebrated, recognised and respected.
Again, thanks and congratulations to Ridley Scott for this wonderful experience and I recommend collaborating with Westworld TV show's Jonathan Nolan on future science fiction entertainment as these two might be able to come up with new ideas.
