The Feed

The premise seemed interesting but by episode 3 I had the overwhelming urge to make coffee, rearrange the pictures on fridge, and then check Amazon for new boots. Back to review - the show was all over the place, the fake American girl's acting was ridiculous and people behaved in ways no one in real life would. Too many different character story lines, some they didn't even need that only detracted from the main story.

I miss early seasons of Black Mirror but not thirsty enough to force myself to watch this show.

Any story set where all humans are wired to the internet is an easy story to sell. But The Feed is episode after episode of our confused protagonist figuring out just about nothing, and the other characters in and out of bed for hours on end. One of the most boring shows I've seen in a long time.

It's a great premise. The plot doesn't exactly go deep enough for my taste and drags on quiiiiiiite a bit but I found it enjoyable. I don't understand the people complaining about bad acting. It's a talented cast, and they act as realistic as I'd expect for aristocrats runninn a tech dynast.

The Feed turned out to be a series that was meh, okay... but it definitely had potential to be so much more and go so much deeper but it just never gets there and there are so many times where I think bad choices were made, where characters were not developed, were inconsistent, the last half of the episodes definitely trudge on and very little happens and the pacing is very poor... it's sloppy, and it jumps around so much as to be erratic and weak... I'd give it a 6/10

It's got a pretty good foundation to be a great show there were times that I found myself fully hooked and starving for more and times where I'd rather be scrolling through twitter. As a black mirror fan I thought I would give it a shot because its that same "future of tech theme" but it just isn't as polished. Times where they didn't take themes far or dark enough, and other themes were just way too shallow. The acting was pretty good I thought, with the exception of some of Kate's scenes I thought the actors were superb so I don't understand all of the complaints there. The biggest complaint I had is that there were some decisions some chatacters made that were extremely questionable at best. Anyone with a bit of common sense would have made better choices.

All in all if you're a fan of black mirror it's worth giving a chance. Once you're about half way through if you don't feel the urge to watch more and more then probably put it down because the 2nd half was less enjoyable than the 1st for me
