Philip K Dick's Electric Dreams
Discussion
Surprised no topic yet, the trailers are appearing on C4 now, although the release date is still unknown it seems.
Best known as a writer of some of the greatest sci-fi books that have been adapted for the big screen; Do Andriods Dream of Electric Sheep (Bladerunner), Minority Report, We Can Remember It For You Wholesale (Total Recall) and The Man in the High Castle.
"Philip K. Dick’s Electric Dreams is a sci-fi anthology series of ten epic, ambitious and moving standalone episodes, each set in a different and unique world – some which lie in the far reaches of the universe and time and others which are much, much closer to home. While the stories may be worlds apart, central to each is the poignant and warm exploration of the importance and significance of humanity.
Each episode is inspired by one of Philip K. Dick’s renowned shorts stories and has been adapted by an exciting list of leading British and American writers and directors. The series also features an all-star roster of cast who head up this thrilling, audacious and emotional journey into the far reaches of imagination."

I caught up last night and have to say I enjoyed it too.
The set pieces were well done, feeling run down but established, the yellow / green tinge to a lot of the shots creates that dystopian feel, the cars reflecting the lack of advancement in technology.
I can understand those that may not have quite gelled with Agent Ross, but I think he played the part extremely well. He suckered Honour into the Union's plan, gaining her (and ours) trust then the big reveal at the end.
Looking forward to next week.
