What is Replicas about?
A scientist becomes obsessed with returning his family to normalcy after a terrible accident.
Does it have a happy ending? (spoiler-safe)
It leaves things open rather than tying them up.
A desperate scientist races against time, blurring ethical lines to resurrect his family after tragedy strikes.
Suspenseful and earnest. A full-attention watch at a brisk pace. Emotionally it is heavy.
Streaming on Prime Video, The Roku Channel (free) and Tubi (free).
