Review of Weird City

Weird City (2019)
4/10
Falling flat after the first episode
1 October 2020
I see that the producers had arranged cleverly the episode order in a certain way, starting with strong one carried by Dylan O'Brian and Ed O'Neill in hope the audience would continue watching the next several episodes. It is similar to Apple's "Amazing Stories" that started with Dylan O'Brian in the first episode before the whole serial fell apart with second episode that is too "SJW" and has ruined the mystique of "Amazing Stories".

Lot of reviewers have commented about the similarity between "Weird City" and "Black Mirror". I tend to agree, but "Weird City" has lot of pointless "comedy" that fall flat like the bad comedians who couldn't get the audience to laugh. I watched about ten minutes of second episode before skipping to the next episode and repeated the same thing to the subsequent episodes.

I gave the serial one star but had to add three more for the excellent Dylan O'Brian episode.
