Honestly, what is with this series? Every single episode takes some bizarre left turn into weirdville (and not in a good way), marring what started out looking like it might be an interesting sci-fi story with good actors. I haven't read Philip K. Dyck's original books, so I don't know if the fault is his or the screenwriters', but the writing here, as in other episodes, is terrible. In most cases, they tease you with a sci-fi premise, only to turn the episode into a boring romance or emotional drama. The only thing sci-fi about the episodes are the sets. That's NOT why I tuned in, thank you very much. And this episode went even further off the rails, inserting jarringly unnecessary soft-porn scenes that leave you going wwhhhaaatttt? (If you always wanted to see Bryan Cranston's wrinkly, naked ass, this is the show for you.) If Electric Dreams was trying to compete on the same level as Black Mirror, they're not even close...
