Current Events > Is that Electric Dreams show any good?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I've heard people mention it in passing but I have yet to see any real discussion about it as there is about Black Mirror. I'm not expecting it to be like Black Mirror at all but I am wondering if it's a worthwhile show.

I watched the first episode so far, so my opinion is based entirely off of it. I thought it was good, but did indeed feel like Black Mirror with its punches pulled a little.

Oh so is it emulating that same sort of technology-oriented theme? I was hoping for a division similar to what we see between Twilight Zone and Outer Limits.

The first episode is definitely a 'technology letting humans indulge their dark side too much' story.

It garners comparisons to Black Mirror because they're both sci-fi anthology series, but I found its tone and themes to be more reminiscent of traditional sci-fi (which is understandable given the decades of technological evolution that has occurred since the original writing of Electric Dreams' source material and Black Mirror). Overall, I liked it.

Oh and is it creepy at all? I know literally nothing about it.

Thanks for the responses.

Definitely a worth-while watch. Definitely more traditionally sci-fi than Black Mirror like the above poster alluded to. Not too much creepiness, mostly just suspense and mystery.
