About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a slower, idea-driven anthology with big themes and a mixed-but-intriguing set of episodes, similar in spirit to Black Mirror; Not for you if you need consistently tight pacing and clear payoffs.
Pros: imaginative standalone stories; strong cast performances; thought-provoking themes | Cons: uneven episode quality; slow pacing at times; endings feel unsatisfying
