Basically yes.

Harsh, but fair.

Always the way.

Is it particularly good?

Cells at Work. This was a lot of fun, surprisingly tense at times. Nice use of Ride of the Valkyries at a key point. Currently on NetflixUK.

The Eternaut. This was a good slow-build sci-fi series. The setting in Argentina was enjoyably different compared to other sci-fi shows.
