Tomorrow and I

I'm very pleasantly surprised by this Thai scifi drama series. Both the acting, writing, and production value are too notch.

The show explore various social and moral issues that are present in the real world and also in a what-if scenario when our technology brings said issues to the next level. The show explore these issues in all angles in a quite objective way and states arguments of both sides objectively. Unlike most recent Western shows that tend to take a preconceived stance to begin with.

The pacing of the show is on a slow side with deliberate long pauses throughout. This might be a cultural choice which might not sit well for the Western audience's fast-food-way of tv consumption. But be patient and let each scene sink-in. It's we'll worth the time.

I really really enjoyed this; it has the heart warming on some parts of the episode, and the encouragement of reflection on your own values too when something feels not right, and all the right amount of shivers too! To me this is a lot like the early black mirror episodes (where the first few seasons with a few outliner episodes later on, were much better and far more chilling than the later stuff with less surprising story writing). This was a pleasant surprise to find and it's a shame it wasn't pushed more by Netflix in the UK. So I recommend it! Especially if you do like black mirror and don't mind dubbed voices. Easily 7 out of 10 for me. Ideal for sci-fi fans.

Neither funny, nor scary, nor clever. The film leans heavily on flashy special effects, but they can't disguise its glaring lack of substance. Overly long, hollow, and utterly pointless-a complete waste of time.

The pacing drags unbearably, with scenes that seem to go nowhere. Key moments, which should have been thrilling or emotional, are instead clumsily executed, leaving no impact. The characters are flat, one-dimensional, and impossible to care about, while the dialogue feels forced and uninspired. The series tries to blend humor, drama, and suspense but fails miserably at all three. What's left is a shallow, overproduced spectacle with no heart or meaning. Avoid it.

AN EDITOR. Someone with a pair of scissors to chop the length of these shows down by about half. Having never seen a Thai-produced series before, I have no idea if this is standard for Thai TV, but for the love of all things holy, EDIT these goddamn shows!

When you belabour a point, its impact is totally lost, and what might have been a poignant moment ends up feeling like you're being beaten with the soggy end over and over again.

Other than that, it's fine. It's no Black Mirror, but not many people have the writing chops of Charlie Brooker, so we can't hold that against them. Some quality visual effects, but you know... only so much lipstick you can put on a pig.

These stories are interesting, but all episodes have pacing issues and could have used some serious editing. They drag on and on forever. The plots of this anthology series have the potential to be thought-provoking, but I had a difficult time sitting through them. For me, there were quite a few "wait there's more???" moments throughout the viewing. Some of the dialogue also sounds really weird and unnatural in Thai, and a lot of the acting doesn't seem to come from a genuine place. The whole thing is a commendable effort with the attempt to create an Asian version of Black Mirror, but it appears to be half-baked and could have used some polishing and tightening up.
