The Australian actor plays an introverted physics professor who is kidnapped to a parallel world where he finds himself single, as he chose work over love.
Joel Edgerton’s defining quality as an actor is his watchfulness. His characters are attuned to the world around them, and even at his most stoic or menacing you can feel the men he plays sifting through their reactions. It’s artistry on the level of emotional sinew, and it shines through to outstanding effect in this deft science-fiction series.
There is an all-powerful device that opens up countless worlds, and early on someone uses the phrase “psychogenic amnesia”, but the quantum mechanics never overwhelms the personal stakes. The show is alert to how individual relationships are tiny and miraculous – when Jason meets Daniela2, a famous artist, she can sense he is different from the man who turned his back on her. “Tell me about us,” she asks, and the warmth of Jason’s otherworldly memories bonds them.
