I like how the shows main characters are British, and the main location is in Britain... but apparently people are unhappy it's been Americanized. Are there any scenes that even take place in the US? I think there's only one American character.

The show is really good, it would have been cool to see more things in the universe like he planned to do.
- Yes. Episode 8 has scenes in the US.
  
  Yes... at the United Nations in New York
- I mean, sex education is also like that, very much in england. But very strong american vibe.
  
  That's interesting. How is sex education Americanized?
4*
- Buddy you're yelling at a cloud, as right as you might be.
Woah what the hell, I had no idea. That's really... unfortunate. I've heard it's a good series, it's a shame he didn't even get to see its release.
- The series is definitely great, give it a shot if you're into Sci-Fi.
  
  I've read and enjoyed the first book, but I didn't realize the series apparently covers all 3, so now I gotta get through the rest before I jump in. Definitely looking forward to it, though.
  
  The Chinese series is much much better though. 8 episodes is way too short and its been dumbed down a lot. Plus setting in Oxford??
Funny how the Chinese govt says the show has been "Americanized" when the US gov has basically no say over what Netflix releases.
Great show and super cool concept. Can't wait to see the rest of the series.
Imagine going through all the effort of ordering and testing poisons, and the best method of delivery you can come up with is personally offering the target this cool new probiotic pill, and also showing and offering it to multiple other people in the office so everyone gets sick and knows it was what you gave them.

Bro should've watched better call Saul first.
