"The dystopia proposed in the writings of Mr. Ishiguro is at once achingly bleak and endlessly optimistic. Also, this is the most romantic book I’ve ever read."

Dystopia per episode
I love dystopias, and I love this show because of how it is set up. Each episode promises a new, original and unique dystopia to devour. Some aren't interesting, but most are absolutely mind-blowing. The great thing about this show, is if you don't like an episode or if it doesn't sound interesting, you can just go to a different episode!
