Searched and didn't see any topics.

This show is amazing. One of the best Netflix series available in my opinion. I love how each episode stands on its own in story line and animation type. Very much the animated version of Black Mirror.

Anyone else watching? Each episode is roughly 10 to 15 minutes long, so you can get through them quick.

It's pretty cool.

I like all the different art styles and the short episode format.

I haven't seen all of them but so far my favorites are:

Sonnie's Edge - cool concept and the fighting was awesome
Beyond The Aquila Rift - enjoyed the twist
Zima Blue - not sure what it was but I really liked this one

The Witness has one of the most interesting styles I've ever seen. It's like Spiderverse mixed with real world. The rest of that episode was... weird ..

Suits and The Secret War were both good too.

I watched all but the last episode over the weekend. Need to finish it.

They were hit or miss to me. The first episode is a pretty strong hook, though. Some recognizable voices in there as well.

There were a couple that left me with, I don't know?, anxious thoughts or something. The whole..."frick that, that's pretty terrifying to think about," kind of thing, which were mostly the space episodes.

This one reminded me a lot of "A Scanner Darkly," animation over real actors.

And it was definitely one of the more interesting episodes.

I've only watched "Lucky 13" so far, but it was a pretty fun little sci-fi adventure.

75% through and love it.

It's what I wish Adult Swim would be and have been.

An uncensored network with multi-animation styles, centered around stories that can be made interesting with limited time.

Yes. It’s fantastic, though I didn’t like the yogurt short.

I watched all 18, fantastic show IMO. Heavy Metal meets Black Mirror.

My favorite episodes:

Sonnie's Edge
Suits
Good Hunting
The Dump
Three Robots

They were all really good, only one I didn't really enjoy was Alternate Histories.

I watched about 8 episodes with my Girlfriend on Sunday. I like that they stand alone and they're really short.

Sort of like twilight zone or black mirror animated, and the animation styles change as well.

Watched the first two last night. Enjoyed both. I agree, it does have a black mirror feel.

I liked the sentient yogurt (Pinky and the Brain nostalgia)

I liked the story about the huli jing

And I liked the salesmen in the desert (fossil sealife)

Yes, I liked the four I saw; SECRET WAR, Aquila Rift and the Farmers with robots one (forget name), and Werewolf soldiers one.

Secret War - should be full length movie although the monsters should be smarter.

Aquila Rift - saw the ending coming because of a joke from my teenage years but still good. Creepy

Finished all of them yesterday. I didn't realize Tim Miller & David Fincher were behind this. It definitely gives Netflix a chance to go at the NSFW/Adult Swim/Toonami market.

I'd rank them in this order:
Good Hunting
Beyond the Aquila Rift
Sonnie's Edge
The Secret War
Three Robots
The Witness
Zima Blue
Suits
When the Yogurt Took Over
Helping Hand
Lucky 13
Ice Age
Blind Spot
Fish Night
Sucker of Souls
The Dump
Shape-Shifters
Alternate Histories

Netflix tweeted back at Thoms that it’s “trying something completely new” by presenting four different episode orders to different viewers. However, it said, “The version you’re shown has nothing to do with gender, ethnicity, or sexual identity — info we don’t even have in the first place.”

Similarly, a company spokesperson told us, “We want to showcase the variety of shorts within the anthology series in different ways and see what works for our members.”

But is your episode order still based on your Netflix viewing history? Thoms said he talked to a friend at Netflix, who told him it was a “100% random A/B test.”

The episodes are in four different, random orders. Has anyone noticed this? I wonder what the point of this is.
