moritz-imdb-231-176485 Ends abruptly in the middle of the story buildup - do not waste your time, unless you like disappointment.
aarlatschar I just wanted to say that this was very good. I don't mind waiting. I write this to plead with producers to pick this up and make more of it. It is certainly better than a lot of the stuff out there in the last year. I know this is from 2015. I still think it is better than a lot of what has been happening from Netflix and Amazon lately. Come on, keep the story going. If not, thanks for the show anyway. Cool concept.
ricbarrett There are two rules to live life by. Number one is never tell anyone everything you know and I feel that this series does a great job in that regard so it keeps you on your seat in that way. Of course, this is sci~fi and it's sci~fi with a little bit of twist. If you're a sci~fi fan then you should enjoy this show.I have to say that it's set in London, or what looks like London but just in the future. In this regard the location scout did a great job. Thumbs up to them.Another really good thing about this series is that it keeps you on the edge of your seat with punchy dramatics and interesting narrative style.There's a girl, a citizen of the future, and she thinks she is going crazy because she has to always think about things and write things down on her PC. Maybe there might be too much by way of plot overlays, I don't think so but I can see why other people might. I have had 30 years of sci~fi experience and this series pressed almost all of the sci~fi buttons, which isn't an easy thing to do on such a low budget.Onto the budget. This really does look like a million pound show but they didn't have a budget of a million pounds. So well done to the CGI department. There we some FX that I could tell were CGI but all the rest I couldn't so they stitched them in well and the FX helped to push the plot along a lot.To conclude, I would say that sci~fi fans should give this a go. It has futurist elements which are combined well with current social issues and its social currency pays for itself in keeping with modern times. The lighting is amazing and you will really feel teleported into the future. Big thumbs up to the director for this.
al-01077 I saw this on Netflix, it's a really promising start to a very interesting story. I didn't know Netflix were doing pilots, nor in business with the indie sector so this is a very exciting step for all of us who watch their content regularly and like shows such as Utopia and Black Mirror. This show feels very British but is also handling story on its own terms. I was reminded of Black Mirror as this also subverts story convention and run its story in a mini-series format for this first season. This feels anything but conventional but be warned, these first three chapters end on a massive cliff hanger, so there looks to be a wait in store before it goes any further. I would say bear this in mind before you watch this otherwise you will be annoyed! The story set up in these three parts (intriguing length for a pilot) combines sci-fi, the paranormal, a government conspiracy and a massive great big quarantine zone unlike anything I've seen right in the middle of a future-set British metropolis. I would say get to the third episode as it gets visually really interesting right there. The vibe is dark but the show looks great, and the cast are really strong at pulling you into this world. I would recommend this if you are the type who looks to spot future hits and gets into the action early.
