If you told me a guy who's infamous for starring in stupid low brow comedies would direct one of the best, thought provoking and most stylish TV shows to come out within the past 10 years I'd call you crazy. This series oozes personality and makes me wonder where Ben Stiller as a director has been all these years, guy just puts every other garbage live action show today to complete shame out of nowhere.
Social experimentation... Humans like rats in a maze... Evil corporation bent on world domination (maybe)... Mmm, pizza! Me likey!
Mind f* and retro-modern techno wierd. Exactly how I like it
Often cliche, but equally often fun, this show delivers a solid supernatural narrative. There were times I found the characters lacking, and the dialogue quite bad, every time something was lacking it was balanced later when the writers delivered a particularly good line, or some new tidbit of worldbuilding helped keep the show creative and engaging. This is a show that a lot of younger audiences with less exposure to the genre will really love. Sometimes I think the show isn’t cliche, but rather intentionally overt, not because the writers are weak, but because they’re too direct for my taste.
Also BIG extra points for a distinct lack of romance.
