The futuristic series, streaming on HBO Max, has a high bar for visual quality. Alien worlds, visionary technology, and strikingly human-like androids set the stage for a very real exploration of the mysteries of human existence. Photorealistic visual effects blend seamlessly into the filming to keep the emphasis on storytelling rather than spectacle. The show's visual effects supervisor, Ray McIntyre Jr., is an award-winning veteran of films ranging from the sci-fi thriller Looper, to the horror mystery The Conjuring, and the historical, character-driven Green Book.
