Shatter Belt

I will admit, I'm not hard to please, but I think this show was great! The isolated episode nature reminds me of Twilight Zone or Black Mirror (which are probably the most obvious comparisons) but these are just as fun. Some of it was a little complex so I'm sure a bit of it went over my head and might go over yours, but over all it was a good time. Definitely check out "Immotus" and "Pearls", I really enjoyed those. I imagine that since there were only 4 episodes the budget was fairly small, so if that was the case then I think they especially did an impressive job with what they had. Again, I just like anything sci-fi or mind-bendy, but if you do, too, this is worth a watch!.

I am a huge fan of Coherence like I assume most of the viewers of this series are, this is immensely lower quality than Coherence. I had to leave a review to offset the amount of 10/10 reviews claiming this was a groundbreaking and quality show. Every episode is poorly produced, poorly acted and conceived with very little logic. I hope James Byrkit makes something at the same level of Coherence in the future but this entire series was a waste of time and effort.

You are better off watching old episodes of Black Mirror or any of the weaker shows with a similar format than giving this series your time and money.

Clever, creative, innovative, and poignant. It's also genuinely funny. I grew up watching the Twilight Zone and have been yearning for a show to fill that space. This is it! I only wish there were more episodes. Do you yourself a favor and check out this hidden gem!

I learned about Jim Brykit's work from Coherence, which is brilliant! This is a very worthy follow up. It is perfectly cast and thoughtfully written. There is never a word wasted. Brykit shows an appreciation, understanding, and respect for the genre that fans of science fiction and short stories will also appreciate. Two big thumbs up for Shatter Belt!

If you just go by the description you think you are in for a good show like the old Twilight Zone or Outer Limits! However these stories themselves are very very lackluster and fall flat! Which leave you wondering why you sat and watched this series of 4 shows! Shatter Belt is suppose to be a TV series with interconnected stories that explore consciousness, intention, desire, free will, and the uncanny nature of awareness. Yet this viewer could not find any interconnection between any single show, not even a character crossed be the 4 episodes. It is as if the writers of this show never sat down and treated themselves to suspense of watching classic Twilight Zone or Outer Limits! Shows that made you jump as you were watching, wondering if you neighbor are from another planet, or if there is an unseen force controlling the world around you! These shows that are over 60's years old as still up to date today in many ways. The stories in this show will be dated by next season! This is the second show from this season I have watched with same theme and left me vastly disappointed! Much like the reboot of Twilight Zone from.2019 that failed!

Every so often, a show comes along that doesn't just entertain-it challenges perception. Shatter Belt, James Ward Byrkit's latest creation, is a four-episode journey into the unknown, shattering expectations with each surreal, mind-expanding story. Like Coherence, it thrives on uncertainty, twisting reality in ways that leave you questioning everything.

Each episode is a puzzle, pulling you into bizarre yet deeply human dilemmas, where truth and illusion blur. The writing is razor-sharp, the performances gripping, and the minimalist filmmaking heightens the eerie, immersive feel. Just when you think you understand, Shatterbelt pivots, keeping you off-balance in the best way.

It's rare to find a show this bold-one that sticks with you, rewiring how you see the world. If you love cerebral, reality-bending narratives, this is a must-watch. A stunning, unforgettable experience.

10/10.
