Started watching this having no idea what to expect. I even left it around the middle of the 1st episode, not having connected to the storyline...yet. When I came back to the series, I was sucked in! Not only was I mesmerized by the story, I was further entranced by the visual presentation--one of a magical kind of realism. The story of Apollo's parents, the birth of and bonding to his own son, actually touched my heart and I instantly became a devoted viewer. In some ways, it reminds me of Birth, another film that blends realism with fantasy. Props to Lakeith Stanford! Superb acting in an or.
