Weird City

Yeah, weird show with weird humor. Not for everyone.

Its futuristic theme is lighter and funnier than the darker anthology series Black Mirror. Seemingly Weird City is supposed to a more consistent world than Black Mirror as well.

You dont know what to expect from each episode. It's a crazy show. It is disturbing in a colorful sci-fi way. No gore, just... weird situations and almost cartoon-like exaggerated characters. I guess it's supposed to be a dark kind of comedy that makes you feel awkward.

The only reason I watched it was because Dylan O'Brien was in it, and i couldn't make it to the 3rd episode. The 1st episode was weird and comforting but then the 2nd episode was weird and creepy. It was very disturbing (the 2nd ep.) I would say you should try and watch it but i don't recommend.

If you're expecting a gritty dark-future show in the realm of black mirror you'll probably be disappointed, but that's not to say this show doesn't have its own charm! The stories remind me of the campier Twilight Zone episodes or something along the lines of Futurama in an anthology space. It's fun, satirical, black humour thats well produced and has some good performances, though the set design and world is the real star; definitely worth the watch if you're okay with fun sci-fi.

I see that the producers had arranged cleverly the episode order in a certain way, starting with strong one carried by Dylan O'Brian and Ed O'Neill in hope the audience would continue watching the next several episodes. It is similar to Apple's "Amazing Stories" that started with Dylan O'Brian in the first episode before the whole serial fell apart with second episode that is too "SJW" and has ruined the mystique of "Amazing Stories".

Lot of reviewers have commented about the similarity between "Weird City" and "Black Mirror". I tend to agree, but "Weird City" has lot of pointless "comedy" that fall flat like the bad comedians who couldn't get the audience to laugh. I watched about ten minutes of second episode before skipping to the next episode and repeated the same thing to the subsequent episodes.

I gave the serial one star but had to add three more for the excellent Dylan O'Brian episode.

This 'show' is just garbage. I watched all 6 episodes continuing to hope, fruitlessly, that it would get good at some point, but it just never does.

I get what they're going for, as others have stated, a sort of Black Mirror anthology thing, but it's a fail.

None of the characters (with the exception of the 2 women in the final episode-the tv show within a tv show) have any redeeming qualities, the stories are vapid and uninteresting (again with the exception being episode 6), and weird is nowhere near a strong enough word to describe this trash.

Unless you REALLY have nothing better to do (like watch paint dry on the walls), I strongly recommend not wasting your time on this.

Zero stars from me, even the few good actors couldn't save this mess
