Haven't seen a thread about this show so I figured I'd start one. I still have to check out Channel Zero (I've read good things about it so far) but I'm down for some more sci-fi shows. This one doesn't seem to have the "doom and gloom" or the budget that most Black Mirror episodes have, but I'm willing to give it a go.

Discuss!

After watching two episodes, the best way I can describe it is a 'Halfway between Twilight Zone and Black Mirror'. It has comedy that Black Mirror doesn't, while still having the thought provoking elements it does. I recommend it.

Thanks for posting this. I've never heard about this before, but after watching the first two episodes I can definitely tell you that this is a really nice mix of Black Mirror and Twilight Zone.

In terms of visuals effects it doesn't match the high fidelity of black mirror, but at the same time it's not low budget either. The cinematography is superb though, along with their crazy stories.

Amazing to see how Rocketjump has gone from a guy and his friends making VFX-heavy shorts on YouTube to a full-fledged production company working alongside Lionsgate and Hulu.

I'll have to give the show a watch when I get the chance, looks good.
