ZONE 414 with Guy Pierce @2021

This is not a Bladerunner Rip-off. It's True Affinity is as an Adaption of Issac Asimov's Literary Scifi Classic "THE NAKED SUN" from the "ROBOTS OF DAWN" SERIES. Asimov's meta-themes of a Dystopian future where mankind has technologically evolved to the point in which androids have supplanted humanity's societal hierarchy of needs to seek out human companionship and presence has given way to absolute social isolation. Physical presence of others has become literally taboo. And it is Asimov's detective protagonist android partner who possesses the last vestiges of human qualities as humanity creeps ever so further into depravity of amorality especially in it's off-world colonies...

Phillip K. Dick's "ELECTRIC DREAMS"

There's been a surge of Speculative Fiction-Scifi Anthology productions as of late... Between Amazon's "Electric Dreams", Netflix's "Black Mirror", "The Man in the High Castle," "The Zero Hour," "Dark" and others there has been a broad range of opinions as to the quality of these latest additions to the genre lorded over by revered kings like TWILIGHT ZONE AND OUTER LIMITS...Some examples offer simplistic and raunchy popcorn copies of the genre kings that too often fail miserably to engage the intelligence of cult followers of Speculative Fiction. A prime example of a series being wildly erratic in this guilt is The BLACK MIRROR...As such, I find Electric Dreams the most satisfactory and intellectually engaging production presently...It absolutely reeks of substantial adherence to the original credos prevalent in both the highest traditions of the genre and its legendary SciFi Author Phillip K. Dick. WELL DONE AMAZON...I am BingeWatching every episode now...I did the same with Black Mirrorverse and it became a bit painful due to the show's often blatant attempts to hook it's audience with sophomoric meta-themes, bad editing, non-existent character development and self-engrandising piety of the show's front-runners.
