If you have to explain that much about your story, it just means that you weren't able to show your story (or universe). So it's either not a good story or you're not a good writer. After all, we call them "TV shows", not "TV explains". And it had strong "it was just a dream/wasn't real" vibes.

I would have to disagree. It wasn't an explanation of the plot, it was philosophical discussion on the concept of free will. Everything was shown but one had to really observe: not a show to watch whilst looking at one's phone!

Edit: I know I used the word 'explain' in my previous post; 'clarify' would have been a better word. Let's be honest: I'm a massive fanboy of the show and have watched it 8 or more times. I just think it's the best thing I've ever seen.
