These days, it?s almost impossible to talk about any kind of science-fiction TV anthology without comparing it to Charlie Brooker?s future-fears series Black Mirror.
It?s the question most SF fans and telephiles will immediately ask. The new Amazon Prime Video anthology Philip K. Dick?s Electric Dreams does have some comparison points to Brooker?s series, and it?s unlikely that either Amazon or its UK television partner, Channel 4, mind having their fledgling series mentioned alongside Netflix?s well-established, buzzy technological creepshow. But Electric Dreams is decidedly brighter than Black Mirror. Co-creators Ronald D. Moore and Michael Dinner are every bit as pessimistic as Brooker about how technology is going to transform the culture in the centuries ahead, but they have a lot more faith in the people who will still be around.
The 10 episodes of Electric Dreams? first season (each roughly 50 minutes long) are driven more by grounded characters than far-out premises. Those who know Moore?s work shouldn?t be surprised. In his Battlestar Galactica remake and his Outlander adaptation, Moore has often just let wild fantasy be the backdrop for stories about the deepest yearnings and aspirations of human beings (or robots who look and act like human beings). And he falls into the usual pattern of science fiction, where most stories about the future are really about the present. In stories set a thousand years from now ? or even 10 ? the creators are usually extrapolating from current trends, and reflecting their own visions of where humanity?s headed. The stories in Electric Dreams are a snapshot of today, filtered through our collective hopes and fears.
