A very poor black mirror rip off
The mothers' acting was awful especially when she was trying to emote. The others were much better and the contrast was glaring.
I'm 44 minutes in and I realised I still have half to go. I think this series can be best described as "a misguided, longwinded, politics pushing and mediocre Black Mirror-spoof".
So excited based on the premise but yikes it did not deliver in any way
Did not watch it looks teribble
Movie was ok but the mom and son are so unlikable and the movie feels like you're supposed to be rooting for them, so the delivery is a bit off. Also opens more doors then it closes with the clones having memories thing.
This one is like B-movie level of a Black Mirror episode. It's got cloning, near-future technology, and of course, murder. :smiling_imp:
Right away, I noticed the actress who plays the mom is (Samantha Mathis) the one that played Daisy in the Super Mario Bros. movie and in The Strain (season two?). I like that the son is a weird artistic type (but also psychotic) and we get to see some nice drawings (usually done by someone else for the props). I also like that there's a secondary love-interest whose name was Marissa (I like that name :wink:). Though to no surprise, this story comes off as predictable. About 12 minutes in, I was able to guess what was gonna happen and it did! (I thought to myself that the son would be cloned, and of course it happened at the very end.)
Could have great but the end was shite
So this is where all the scripts go that get rejected by Black Mirror.
cmon we all saw that ending coming didn't we?
ashley actually quite an annoying girl isn't she?

This already gave me terribad vibes from minute two... doesn't improve over the 90 minutes at all. Underdeveloped concept without any tension, proper characterization, a clunky backstory and just plain boring storytelling. Anyone giving this episode credit for tackling the "complexity of motherhood" or even "misogyny" has in very low standards in my book (yes; this one is for mother's day).
