Very mediocre


IMO, I thought the only outstanding episode was "Human Is". It was good from start to end.

The rest of this stuff was barely worth watching. Boring, and sometimes unclear stories, made even worse with worthless endings that aren't even worth discussing.

I think it's not too bad - some episodes are pretty decent, easily comparable to black mirror in terms of writing/acting/overall quality.

most of the episodes are passable and of better quality than a lot big studio Sci Fi movies to be honest. However, I'm getting tired of the penchant by writers to make every story about having a twist mechanism as the final reveal. "Nothing is what it seems" is getting tiresome.

I liked it better than the last season of Black Mirror

I just watched Season 4 of BM. Jesus they went downhill fast, but there are also bad ones in season 1.

I wish these shows did less with modern technology being the fulcrum for the plot line though. Throw in some good old human beings with mental issues or superstitions. Rod Serling touched on all factions of human behavior and belief systems.

I'm also not sure how much of Philip K. Dick's works are represented in these adaptations. He was very mercurial with his Science Fiction and most of the Electric Dreams episodes come off as unoriginal and laced with tiresome tropes.
