First episode date: 23 October 2016

Networks: Netflix, BBC America

Writers: Max Landis

Anyone seen this? I binged it while I was overseas in December. It was written by Max Landis who some of you might know from the Wrestling Isn't Wrestling short film he made. It was a bit weird, very quirky, but I really enjoyed it. I'm a Doctor Who fan and I kinda got a similar vibe from it. Granted it is a bit more grounded and less sci-fi.

 

When friends ask what its like I say: Doctor Who + Sherlock + Drugs :lol:

I posted about it in the Netflix thread. I haven't finished it yet, it kinda fell to the wayside when I started watching other things, but I got more than half way through it. I dont know what the *Censored* is going on, but visually the show is very pleasing, it's very well made, acted and so far written. Max Landis gets soooo much hate, but I've always enjoyed him.

 

Plus Elijah Wood rules.

Yeah I don't get the hate, I like him. He is someone I could just listen to talk about anything and I just start agreeing with what he says regardless of what he is saying :P

 

Elijah Wood is really good in this. Thankfully because I find the character of Dirk a bit annoying so its good to have that straight man in Elijah Wood.

Landis is opinionated and loud and I think that's why people don't like him. If you ever watch the Screen Junkies Movie Fights with him, they always get him to pitch a blind movie and he knocks It out of the park every time!

Yeah absolutely! I love watching him pitch stuff - very creative mind.

 

Who is your favourite character so far?

Haven't watched. I thought Chronicle was great and American Ultra was pretty decent but I don't really have any desire to watch this.

 

I'd give it a go. I know the first episode really caught me.

I like the Elijah Wood's characters sister. She's quirky and hot at the same time.

I started watching this after seeing this topic, three episodes in and I'm enjoying it. It kind of reminds me of Utopia in some ways and I can't not imagine Helena from Orphan Black during Bart's scenes. I agree on Amanda. Hannah Marks seems to pop up in a lot of shows I watch and I always like her characters so it's cool she's got a regular role in this.

Yes!!! So true - I totally get that.

 

I like the duo of Bart and Ken they are great.
