I know this show is probably old news to the board, but I freaking loved it. It reminded me alot of Phillip K Dicks stuff. I also really liked Electric Dreams and found them to have similar styles.

So shows like Electric Dreams and Altered Carbon? Any recs?

Whatever you do, don't watch Mute, even if it comes up as recommended " because you watched" AC

Call me a bitch, but it's a show I can only watch in segments bc it's so bleak...brilliant but bleak.

And was Mute bad??

Bad enough I didn't finish it. Co worker plowed through it and told me the ending and I wasn't disappointed I missed it.

All I know about this series is that I have a very deep infatuation with the actress that plays Ortega. She's a hell of a fire cracker of a woman.

Still, very Dikian. Is that a term? Maybe Dickesque.

Yeah, we've talked about this show ad nauseum but yes, I really like the show as well. Hoping it keeps going for awhile.

and late April brings us season 2 of Westworld as well

Also when you are done with Westworld or if you want to watch something else, or watch something with it: Travelers is great as well

Nooiicee! Do you think they will go into like "Rome World" and the other theme parks in the original movie? That'd be interesting

The audio was so terrible I couldn't finish it.

SUPER LOUD BOOM BANG ACTION SCENES THAT RATTLE THE WALLS and then tiny, quiet dialogue that I couldn't understand without subtitles.

It is a poorly made movie. Some decent style, but the story just isn't coherent.

Great boobies in it too.

But man, the acting in Altered Carbon was horrendous. I enjoyed the show, but with better acting, it could've been several echelons better.

Westworld


WestWorld production value and acting is so much higher than those other two, but it is a much slower burn.

WestWorld is fantastic though. So much hidden stuff.

Did anyone see Jared Leto's new movie out on Netflix?


Something about him joining the Yakuza?
