Electric Dreams -
Decent Sci-fi anthology loosely based on PKD's work. Over all I liked it.
Anthologies like this are notoriously a mixed bag, and ED is no exception. Some episodes felt a bit vaguely open ended. Some seemed to relay a simple yet poignant message leaving the viewer with food for thought and reflection, while others had a bit more of that all too well known Twilight Zone/Outer Limits-esque twist feel to them.
If I had to compare Electric Dreams to The Twilight Zone, Outer Limits, Black Mirror, or The Ray Bradbury Theater then i'd say that they seemed to play out more like an episode of The Ray Bradbury Theater. I dig 'em all so personally I wasn't disappointed in the slightest. From what i've read ED seems to be loosely based on PKD's works, and liberties were taken with the series that seemed to have had more of a negative impact as far as reception goes. Not sure. Reading the actual stories for yourself is usually the best bet i've found... and be that as it may I think that what they did accomplish with the show was pretty well done, and well acted. Recommended.

Altered Carbon... half way through, so far its pretty good. I swear this is taken from Philip K Dick's work. It might even be a mix of minority report and electric sheep.
...Okay, so after finishing the series i will say this.... The first half is pretty damn good. Its creative, different, mixes philip k dick's work with noire with a bit of blade runner... i was really enjoying it. At about episode 7 or so, it really takes a dive for the worse and becomes mostly a matrix like action show that goes on for four hours. The story falls apart with convoluted bullshit and uninteresting characters and man...... this one kind of pissed me off.
Episodes 1-6 8/10
7-10 4/10

Dark -
Agreed. Just finished streaming it. Intelligent, thought provoking, and atmospheric.
While people keep wanting to compare it to Stranger Things and Twin Peaks; it holds its own and then some. I can see maybe some influences here and there, but Dark is its own beast, and in a few certain ways better than both. It's not at all a light and funny, nostalgic ride though, but rather a gritty and somber one. If it could be compared in any way to Stranger Things then this would be called your fathers Stranger Things... and even that's really not all that accurate.
There are a lot of characters to keep track of here, and I won't say why that is for sake of spoliers. It's not a show you want to be throwing on when you're hung over or half asleep, or tired from a long work shift. Full attention really needs to be paid to what's going on, and in keeping up with the characters and story. Binging it would be the best bet for Dark, and I wouldn't want to go multiple days between episodes.
Overall i'm really impressed with this show. Well done all around. I will say that IMO it really wouldn't be considered horror; although as with most shows of a more serious nature there's definitely a fair share of "horrific" elements to it. I think strange, dark, heavy sci-fi has a better ring to it in description.
... so wasn't expecting where the ending went. Recommended.

Im shocked at how few people, especially on this site, have seen this show.
If Netflix would lie and say this was a Guillermo del Toro movie no one would know the difference and everyone would have seen it and had been jerking off in the corner for a week because of how good it was.
