Weird City

This 'show' is just garbage. I watched all 6 episodes continuing to hope, fruitlessly, that it would get good at some point, but it just never does.

I get what they're going for, as others have stated, a sort of Black Mirror anthology thing, but it's a fail.

None of the characters (with the exception of the 2 women in the final episode-the tv show within a tv show) have any redeeming qualities, the stories are vapid and uninteresting (again with the exception being episode 6), and weird is nowhere near a strong enough word to describe this trash.

Unless you REALLY have nothing better to do (like watch paint dry on the walls), I strongly recommend not wasting your time on this.

Zero stars from me, even the few good actors couldn't save this mess

The basic idea of Weird City - an anthology series taking place in a city divided between the haves and have nots - seems promising. But the first episode, involving a guy who goes to a dating agency that promises to find your perfect match, seemed about 20 minutes too long even though the whole series is a half hour. It would have been better had they intertwined a couple of stories, or wrote one that had more meat on it.

The series seems very well meant, dealing with themes of love and freedom and government overreach and the right to choose your own sexuality. It's just that it's not an especially interesting idea, it's not done particularly well, and after ten minutes it feels like its spinning its wheels.

I'm not sure why Jordan Peele is doing this, since my understanding is he's doing a reboot of Twilight Zone and why would you do two such similar series simultaneously? Also don't understand how the very talented Peele could do something so mediocre. Very puzzling.

Not going to watch another episode.

I thought this was a documentary about *today's* California millennials! lol

All six episodes less than thirty minutes each - thankfully. With better writers, this premise could have been a good one.

The only reason I watched it was because Dylan O'Brien was in it, and i couldn't make it to the 3rd episode. The 1st episode was weird and comforting but then the 2nd episode was weird and creepy. It was very disturbing (the 2nd ep.) I would say you should try and watch it but i don't recommend.

If you're expecting a gritty dark-future show in the realm of black mirror you'll probably be disappointed, but that's not to say this show doesn't have its own charm! The stories remind me of the campier Twilight Zone episodes or something along the lines of Futurama in an anthology space. It's fun, satirical, black humour thats well produced and has some good performances, though the set design and world is the real star; definitely worth the watch if you're okay with fun sci-fi.
