  I just watched and it was beautiful but disappointingly written. They clearly had advisors who added reasonable explanations for e.g. the different QM interpretations, simulations, determinism etc. but then ignored the implications of what they were writing a lot of the time. SPOILER: Like when their algorithm only worked under MWI, proving it in-world but then still having only a single branch they knew in advance they are in*, still having the determinism even with knowing the prediction of what they'll do etc. *Except for a single decision, apparently the only decision which could result in a different outcome out of all simulated days. That single decision even broke the Algo but not even at the point where it was made and not even by just predicting a different branch from then on but predicting noise. It was just total nonsense in a show that clearly knew better at times.
