China in the time of Mao. Young revolutionaries bring academics onto a makeshift stage in front of a bloodthirsty crowd. Families pitted against each other. Laws of physics made out to be counterrevolutionary blasphemy. What does this have to do with the year’s most anticipated science-fiction series?made its way in front of an audience on the opening night of this year’s SXSW, and on March 21, will be released to the proletariat.
Other than the large-scale selfie after the show, there was no Q&A or anything of the like, a missed opportunity with what appeared to be the entire cast in attendance.
