Perversions of Science

"Perversions of Science" was one of the most interesting shows I've ever seen. The episodes were very diverse and always refreshingly strange. My favorite (called "Dream of Doom") concerned a man who couldn't wake up, because every time he woke up he'd be in another dream. I wish it were still on to spice up TV.

I found this oldie online recently and quickly realized why it only got one season. HBO tried to make a highly sexualized version of Tales From The Crypt and failed spectacularly.

Each episode begins with a (mostly) naked female android dominatrix in a building marked SEX who's going over various ramblings. Which kind of takes away any meaningfulness the episode may have.

The episodes themselves aren't exactly bad. But they can be so convoluted as to lose your place as far as what's happening. Several episodes are even to the point of me thinking 'is that it' when they end. Because there was no finality.

Anyways, if you're into Sci-Fi stuff, give it a watch and see what you think. But for me, it's a big thumbs Down!

I totally disagree with the reviewer who called this show garbage. I can find 100 other garbage shows out there. A good sci-fi anthology that should get a DVD release. I have several episodes on tape and the production values and the sexy droid are very innovative. Actually the show was ground breaking and deserves better. The animation and the subject content of sex and violence was taken from the New Outer Limits format and style. It is surprising that the show was canceled and along with Spicy City needs a DVD release. So much garbage and little quality is out there. I would like to see more in this style and it is certainly superior to others in the genre.

This terrible series was trying to emulate Tales of The Crypt and The original Twilight Zone. It failed spectacularly. I'm surprised that this series got a 6.2 rating. It is absolutely awful. The stories are lame. The writing is infantile. The special effects and cinematography are terrible. The reviewer who called this awful series a pile of puke was being gracious.

HBO desperately wanted a scientific anthology series which had some twists similar to the twilight zone. What they got was a horrible 30 minute show that makes science sexual, and violent at times. The was hosted by a sexy android whom i can't remember her name, but was probably the best part of the show. The creators of "Perversions of Science" tried their best, but failed miserably in giving HBO another sucess story to write about. Perhaps that's why HBO canceled this piece of garbage after it's only season, as well as an angry response from viewers. Hopefully, this pile of puke will never see the light of day AGAIN!!!!
