Electric Dreams

Black Mirror and its creator, Charlie Brooker, has become the kings of science fiction thanks to its brilliant and intelligent approach of short film noir stories that draw dystopian near future.

Trying to take advantage of this big trend, Amazon has rolled out “Electric Dreams”, an adaptation of 10 stories by the great writer Philip K. Dick, author of an infinite number of futuristic novels that have inspired countless movies : “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?”, which inspired “Blade Runner”; “We Can Remember It for You Wholesale”, which inspired “Total Recall”; “The Minority Report” that inspired “Minority Report”; or “A Scanner Darkly” that inspired the movie with the same name.

Below you have the list of episodes from the highest to lowest score according to IMDB:

• Autofac (8.1)
• Real Life (8.0)
• Human Is (7.7)
• Kill All Others (7.7)
• Safe and Sound (7.7)
• The Commuter (7.3)
• The Hood Maker (6.9)
• The father thing (6.8)
• Impossible Planet (6.7)
• Crazy Diamond (6.3)

Monica & I haven’t seen all of the episodes, but in general, they left us with a big indifferent… They start with a lot of energy and the concept (idea) is very interesting and intelligent, but in the course of each story we lose interest. We feel like spectators, we don’t get involve in the story, something that happens with Black Mirror. Likewise, it is a very entertaining format that also opens our minds with new ideas and possible futures.
