The Feed

It's got a pretty good foundation to be a great show there were times that I found myself fully hooked and starving for more and times where I'd rather be scrolling through twitter. As a black mirror fan I thought I would give it a shot because its that same "future of tech theme" but it just isn't as polished. Times where they didn't take themes far or dark enough, and other themes were just way too shallow. The acting was pretty good I thought, with the exception of some of Kate's scenes I thought the actors were superb so I don't understand all of the complaints there. The biggest complaint I had is that there were some decisions some chatacters made that were extremely questionable at best. Anyone with a bit of common sense would have made better choices.

All in all if you're a fan of black mirror it's worth giving a chance. Once you're about half way through if you don't feel the urge to watch more and more then probably put it down because the 2nd half was less enjoyable than the 1st for me

Any story set where all humans are wired to the internet is an easy story to sell. But The Feed is episode after episode of our confused protagonist figuring out just about nothing, and the other characters in and out of bed for hours on end. One of the most boring shows I've seen in a long time.

The idea of this storytelling is awesome. It's a great story line and the acting is good. However, it's extremely difficult to follow. It seems to skip and jump in strange ways. It's excruciatingly linear and then jumps to another side plot which never quite gets more than introduced. Maybe I've not watched it closely enough? It's just too confusing.

People who say the acting is bad are dead wrong. I guess they just don't like the show in general. But the performances are great. The story is just a long episode of "Black Mirror". But that's not really a bad thing at all. I love "Black Mirror". And, truthfully, some of the episodes of that aren't that great at all. I will continue watching this as I will "Black Mirror". Give it a try. It really is interesting. So far I am on episode 3 going to 4.

If you answered, "Yes", then this series is for you!

I should have listened to my hunch and given up 30% into this one, but when you've invested yourself to 70% you have to finish it out - or not. My wife made the better decision and went to bed.
