What I liked

Doug was amazing, shifting between totally distinct characters in a whirlwind. Grog was a highlight. A love story told in grunts. The lighting was really well done. Helped create unique environments for each time and place. Loved how he used a loop machine to basically create his own soundtrack with a single guitar.

What I didn't like

Only problem I had was in the first minute or so I couldn’t make out what was being said by the recorded voice through the speakers, although that may have been intentional. Just seemed like the speakers either weren’t great or the audio wasn’t mixed correctly.

My overall impression

I loved it. It felt like if all the time travel and sci-fi stories I love AND all the best stories about being a child, being a parent, falling in love, finding your place in the Cosmos MET and had a baby. That baby is this show. I laughed, I cried, I traveled through time.
