No comparison to Black Mirror here. I love Black Mirror ...truly enjoy Black Mirror...and this in no way compares to Black Mirror! It wants to be like it...seems like many shows/movies are trying to capture that slightly futuristic twighlight zoney feel of BM but unfortunately, most that I've seen have missed the mark...and this show doesn't even come close. It's campy, poorly written, or maybe it's well written and poorly executed, I dunno. But its just plain bad. The stories at the end leave you feeling like you've truly wasted your time. You're supposed to be laughing but you'll find that you're not. No pay off at all for the 17 to 45 minutes you've invested in each story.
The visuals are amazing though...it's shot beautifully w vividly colorful, slightly futuristic backdrops and outfits. It's also chuck full of celebs you'll recognize, but they dont help the show like they in theory should. The only moment of full on laughter and irony involves Steven Yuen in a particular scene involving his final moments with a cantaloupe. Other than that and maybe 1 or 2 other moments, I was disappointed and bummed about that.
