**Excellent Epic Series! One Of The Best, If Not The Best Ever Made!** I started watching this series without knowing anything about it, and I didn't expect much. I saw the movie by the same name, which I thought was just all right, but figured I'd give this series a chance anyway.\ \ I just finished watching all 4 seasons, and what a journey! I was hooked in the first episode, and held right until the excellent conclusion. There was comedy, drama, joy, sadness, love, wisdom, suspense, and it was all an absolute top-notch, on-point, and excellent experience the entire way through.\ \ Every aspect of this series was extremely well thought out, and every person involved in this production did a superb job, from direction, music, cgi, filming, sets, costumes, story, actors, and including anyone else I missed to make up the entire crew.\ \ I can't give you each enough praise for your part in this epic series, which is truly epic (in both the true and misused sense). I enjoyed it immensely, and am so happy and thankful to have experienced the wonderful result of your dedication, hard work, and collaboration. I am looking forward to all of your future works, especially in the area of sci-fi, after seeing such a flawless job here! I applaud you all! Bravo! Encore! Thank you sincerely, xox!\ \ I wish I could re-watch and re-experience it again for the first time! This is most definitely a must watch sci-fi series! I recommend no one miss it!\ \ 10/10\ \ Update: I am still thinking about this magnificent series a month after this review. I believe that, to date, this is one of the best TV series ever made, if not the best ever made! Thank you all again, thank you so, so much for this series. I was wrong to give you 10/10, as there are not enough stars to give you for this great thing, please accept my highest honour:\ \ 100/10\ \ Update: 2 months later I could not stop thinking of how great this series was, so I bought the entire series on Blu-Ray. I want to cherish this forever, and support your great work of art any way I can! I tell anyone who will listen that "the 12 monkeys series is the pinnacle of science fiction", "it's a masterpiece", and "you need to watch it if you haven't seen it yet!" I will be forever thankful to all of you for what your collaboration achieved in this series! I hope you all receive recognition for it as long as you live, and even beyond! Thank you all so much! xoxo
