    • Goofs
      In this episode Ben has jumped back to New York City, NY, USA in 1985. There is an aerial shot of Roosevelt Island showing Four Freedoms Park on the southern end (right side) but construction didn't start on the park until 2010. Also, in the background, there are several high rise buildings visible in Queens, NY, USA that did not exist in 1985.

    Ben and Jenn
    I have watched the first 15 episodes over 3 days so haven't reviewed previous stories (but might go back in time to review the better - and worse - ones).

    There have been highs, lows and a lot of downright average and, after a couple of good episodes, this reverted to the average.

    It was good to see someone else acting as the hologram as much as I am impressed with Caitlin Bassett's performances as a TV newbie.

    The original QL for me was the start of the woke era and this show is following suit with noone batting an eyelid at lesbian lawyers in the mid-1980s.

    A mention of AIDS is a nod to the concerns to the era.

    This is far from the worst story so far but it is very pedestrian.
