Need Some New Shows

Yeah, we've done the first three episodes. It's okay. We haven't given up on it, but we also haven't been motivated to watch another one recently. The dystopian future thing is very, very hard to get right in my opinion. Children of Men is what I would consider an ideal execution, while the second episode of Black Mirror (the one where they're riding the bikes) was a perfect example of what not to do. Probably I just saw too much of it as a Radio-TV-Film major in college. I instinctively refer to anything dystopian as "someone's senior project."
