Miguel Sanchez Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 So we're all in agreement that yesterday's would have been much better if it had ended ambiguously, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.A.F.C Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Don't want to be too critical but yeah it was something that's been done before and been done better. Existenz etc Very slick and stylish but little substance to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely. I enjoyed it, and thought it was one of the better ones, but the big reveal was needless. I was actually buying in to the 'false' reality as being the real one. If, after he's stomped the device, the screen just went black, or white even, and finished, that would have been much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Rather than watch last night's you may as well read the description of the story on Wikipedia, which will give you an identical experience in a fraction of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satans_Husband Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 I caught the last ten minutes of it. Really didn't look up to much at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Was looking forward to this series as a sci-fi fan. Quite disappointed overall. The episode with Spall was good, the old lady on the spaceship was not bad. The rest were generally poor. I think they were trying to throw too many ideas into a short episode. The episodes I mentioned as being the best are where they took one idea and just mined it. Worked much better. In summary: just watch Black Mirror instead. It's much better.

DA Baracus Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 I actually thought last night's one was good and definitely one of the better ones. Thought though that once again they should have left it ambiguous at the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightswoodBear Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Watched the Timothy Spall one last night. Really enjoyed that one far more than the first two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightswoodBear Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Finished watching these this week, generally they were ok, I enjoyed the Steve Bucsemi one and the Anna Pacwid one, but the Bryan Cranston one was like one of the shit episodes of TOS Star Trek. Fun fact: I've had breakfast in the diner "Lou Mitchell's" in Chicago that featured in the "Real Life" Anna Pacwid episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Back on Monday, 10PM. Invasion of the Bodysnatchers with a wee boy's da, by the look of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.A.F.C Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 That was like a low quality x-files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Hard to pick a favourite bit, really - Boy angrily trying to tell mother while making as little sense as possible - Boy vanishes from closed police car which two officers stood 20 feet away are looking at - Boys go to find giant scrapyard filled with adult skins, which they instinctively know the location of, and which no other adult has found until now, and which they run away from not telling anyone about - Boy destroys assortment of liquid filled pods by burning them which is enough to halt the entire invasion, because it was centred on a few dozen people in one place in the world Have I missed anything? I mean (and I'm not going by the source material here) it's a somewhat interesting concept if you want to say "Young child discovers parents are separating, believes one of them has been replaced by an alien" and explore that relationship somehow but this... what?

Miguel Sanchez Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Much better effort this week, probably aided by being a story I'd actually heard of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Another decent episode on Sunday, though the hour long show really hindered character development. But then the more you knew about her maw, the less plausible the story would probably be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Last episode was alright too, but again I think it suffered from being presented in an hour long format. A shame the quality was so up and down from episode to episode and a shame it went on a break in the middle for no reason before returning with four episodes and starting that run with the weakest of the lot. I'd be tempted to read some of Dick's short fiction if I could find an anthology of it on amazon besides one curated specifically for this series, given the inherent shame in owning books with covers designed for a recent adaptation.
