Dimension 404

This isn't some kind of reboot or remake of Outer Limits, Black Mirror, or the Twilight zone or whatever else..this is something entirely different. It takes elements from these sci-fi shows and weaves it into something entirely different. It feels similar, but it can't hold a candle to those shows individually..and it's not trying to.

It has a large cast of actors and actresses, and weird ass episodes..but it's fantastic. If you like sci-fi shows and want a new story every episode, this might be the show for you. It's almost like a B-Movie or a B-TV show if you think the acting is terrible (I think it's pretty good..but if you're a stickler (insert Rick and Morty reference)..that's on you) It's probably not for you.

With this latest episode (Bob) I cried like a baby. The story they tell every episode is fantastical and I've been waiting for a show like this for a long time since Misfits ended. To be fair to the user critics, episode 3:Chronos wasn't OMFG over the top amazing..but it had emotion to it and it resonates.

Don't let negative reviews detract you from this show, try it out..see how it fits. This is only the first season, think about shows you love and how crappy their first season was. (South Park? Anyone?)

Give this show a fighting chance.

I watched the first episode. its not bad. premise is good, and acting is OK. i don't enjoy much television, because it mostly is garbage, but this was worth the watch. Well done, the guy from community, for not completely stiff acting, which you are known for.(mchale something?) give it a try.

These seem to be updated throwbacks to when I was a youngster 50 years ago. Loved the nostalgic feel to the show. I'm only on episode 3 but the show has captured my attention. I actually enjoy that it isn't depending on lots of special effects to achieve good ratings. I'm going to enjoy sharing this series with my family and friends.

What a lot of people don't seem to realise is that this show is made by a Youtube channel which usually makes weird/funny short videos, and originally started out making vfx/action videos with their friends with little to no budget. Since then they have grown to make their first series, Video Game High School, and now Dimension 404. While of course it's not near the high quality of big budget shows like The Twilight Zone and Black Mirror, given the circumstances, what they've done is still quite impressive. The stories are original and have some big twists. The acting between the professionals and amateurs in the show is somewhat noticeable, but not enough to be a bother. My favourite types of shows are those like The Twilight Zone, Outer Limits, and Black Mirror, and Dimension 404 fits in well with those, but mostly as a homage rather than the next big edition to the genre. Overall it's well done and entertaining, so if you're like me and really like these types of shows, then it's definitely worth taking a look, but while keeping in mind who created it.

Dimension 404 drinks better from the source (Twilight Zone) compared to other attempts like Black Mirror and others. Who compares with BM and other series has no idea what TZ was. In fact BM and similar are poor copies of the style and depth allowed in TW episodes. The Twilight Zone was an American television anthology series created by Rod Serling. The episodes are in various genres, including psychological horror, fantasy, science fiction, suspense, and psychological thriller; and often conclude with a macabre or unexpected twist, and usually with a moral. A popular and critical success, it introduced many Americans to common science fiction and fantasy tropes. The original series, shot entirely in black and white, ran for five seasons from 1959 to 1964.
