I though the first two episodes were pretty good, I will watch the rest for sure.
Terrance Howard is in an episode? That sucks, why do people keep hiring that guy

>channel 4

not even going to bother

The Hood Maker was fine, they deviated significantly from the original story but still did a good job. Still haven't seen Impossible Planet, will do it tonight.

Only seen hoodmaker so far. It was ok, the world building felt pretty good considering the runtime but I ultimately felt a bit bored by the plot.

I cared about neither character enough to warrant caring about their fate

Based on the first episode, not really. You'd think it was any other generic Black Mirror knockoff BBC sci-fi show if it wasn't for PKD's name in the title. Flat visuals, mediocre production values and tv-tier acting with cartoonish cringe inducing bonger accents.The A-list talent in the later episodes will fix that at least.

They're only doing PPKD's early standard pulpy stuff (probably because the rights to the good shit was snatched up decades ago) and it STILL got watered down.

I'm surprised they led with that episode and not like the Cranston or Timothy Spall one

literally have no idea what any of those comments are about
im guessing its a series of books then yeh

In the time it took to type this and fill out the necessary 46 captchas to post you easily could have googled it.

Not as good as I thought it would be. They haven't picked great stories so far. Looking forward to The Commuter though.

A sci-fi anthology series with stand-alone episodes based on the works of Phillip K. Dick.

first news article about it that pops up on google

I knew what I was in for after the cheap opening. Mediocre special effects and cliche sci fi imagery. "Whoa, look how crazy this is a five breasted stripper and a pregnant man, robots and a crepy old lady!"

Electric dreams is more like the flaky old school sci-fi then Black Mirror and better for it.

Black Mirror is way better than it should be, but tries to ground everything in modern technology and social trends, and has a "those kids with their smart phone's" feel becuase of it.

Philip K Dick wrote in the golden age of science fiction while high as a kite.

The stuff about mind readers isn't some trendy reference to social media or anything. It's something he was generally paranoid about.

It's a good shot at episodic sci-fi without overtly obvious social commentary. You still can take something out of The Hood Maker in that department, about privacy and mutual trust; but it's not the focus. The focus was a sci-fi plot about mind readers using their powers to help investigators and a device that blocks mindreading.

I want to f*ck that teep

First one was mediocre enough that I've not bothered to watch the second yet. You'd think they'd open with a fairly strong one so I'm quite uninterested

>t's a good shot at episodic sci-fi without overtly obvious social commentary.

Yeah that's a good way of describing it. The subject matter and themes is similar to Black Mirror, but the social commentary is more metaphorical ragther then analogical.

Both are worth watching in my opinion regardless so I don't know why the STD vs orville style which one threads keep coming up.

Imagine if it opens the door for producing more shows like it, we haven't seen something similar to Twilight Zone or Outer Limits in ages, which is a pitty because it has space to create some great TV.

Someone explain Impossible Planet to me. I've read Impossible Planet, what are these "Bill was inside you the whole time" shenanigans.

That's what's known as a "native ad." It was never meant to be an honest critique.

>that feel when I've had Electric Dreams by Philip Oakley stuck in my head for days
>just as it starts to leave I see this fucking thread

>tv-tier acting
It's a tv show are you retarded m8
