Will have recaps up later, but just to let you know that episodes four and five are absolutely stellar (in very different ways) and make this entire show worth it.

Episode 5... I'm happy to report that the "Hoodmaker" is absolutely stellar stuff on the emotion cost of surveillance and these two episodes make the entire show worth it.http://www.vulture.com/2018/01/electric-dreams-recap-season-1-episode-5-the-hood-maker.html …

Seriously, we need to have a giant conversation about the way race gets portrayed in sci-fi.

And ninth, we have an amazing Timothy Spall performance! It's not the best executed episode of the stand-outs but it is the one that's stuck with me the mosthttp://www.vulture.com/2018/01/electric-dreams-recap-season-1-episode-9-the-commuter.html …

I ended up loving writing about this show, and also loving the act of watching this show. Screw the perils of "hit and miss" ratio, but that very possibility is the thrill of watching. But if you want the hits: "Crazy Diamond" "The Hoodmaker" and "The Commuter" are your ones!
