Beyond the Sea

Beyond the Sea.

In an alternative 1969, two men on a perilous high-tech mission wrestle with the consequences of an unimaginable tragedy.

Another great episode of the 6th season that keeps surprising me considering the bad feedbacks it receives .

I bought it even before it was released, this episode staring Aaron Paul one of my favorite actor and his performance was absolutely outstanding, Besides it's classified as Sci-fi that I admire !

It was dark and hard to take sometimes, repetitive in others and that exactly what I felt about the first episode, they could've made it shorter in my opinion and it would've been a lot better.

I really don't have a problem with that ending, it fits for me.

The acting is great, especially by Aaron Paul.

The overall plot is interesting and could have been great, but I feel that the writers wanted a final twist so bad that they wrote this ending despite the fact that it's absolutely unsatisfying and makes no sense for David's character.

Very disappointing, something more predictable but more in line with what we had seen of David's character up until the ending would have been better.

Sometimes predictability is good, so long as it's not 100% obvious. But this really looks like they went out of their way *only* for the sake of making it end in a way that most wouldn't expect up until a minute before it happened.

And why would most not expect it?

Because it does not make much sense.

It's like having a "whodunnit" end with the culprit being a character that only comes up at the very end of the story: disappointing.

If, in this future, they are able to make replicants that feel, smell, see, hear and act like their real counterparts, why wouldn't they send the replicants into space instead and keep the real humans on the ground? That wouldn't trigger weird cults either. Nobody thought of this?

This weak premise makes it hard to swallow this story. Some things need to be thought through and covered for, even if it's just a SCI-FI show.

The acting is great. The direction is equally wonderful. The story is predictable but still good. I just hope that writers spend a little bit more time covering for core issues like these.

Brilliant acting! Absolutely top tier, the talent alone carried this whole episode. I cannot say the same about the writers. Acting aside, the concept was intriguing and thought provoking. The acting and idea kept me closely engaged throughout til the end, I was waiting anxiously for the climax, and it just never came. Extremely disappointing, just lazy writing. This episode could've been a 10, but the ending actually irritated me. I needed more! I invested my time and the payoff was cut short. It could've went in so many different directions, but I'm disappointed. Bravo to the actors, shame on the writers.

For starters, Aaron Paul does phenomenally here. He hasn't always taken the best roles since Breaking Bad, but he truly gave his all for this performance and it shows. I don't have much to say about this episode other than it's a fantastic technological concept that's executed pretty good. I do think it is a little predictable, I felt like I knew where things were headed after the first significant event. Even so, some stuff happens in this episode that gets pretty dark, even for Black Mirror's sake, and I enjoy getting that chill of disturbance when watching this show. It's one of the better episodes.
