I like this dystopian series but the last episode was very disappointing. Indeed, i did not really like the end of it because i found it too fast and it does not actually conclude the riddles of the series. More over the atmosphere is uncomfortable and not very reassuring. However the acting was good.

I don’t really like this episode because I find the atmosphere is too dark and it’s hard to understand what happend. Moreover we don’t know what Honor does if she saves Agent Ross or not and I think it’s too bad.Indeed I would like to know if he survives or not.

I like this serie. First, because the character are great. Secondly, the athmosphere is strange, oppressing and I love that. Then, there is an opposition between teeps and normals, I found normals are angry and violent against teeps whereas teeps are thelepaths and they not choose that. The end is very good, indeed there is a suspense, nobody knows what happened, if Honor will help Agent Ross or not? Who will win, the normals or teeps ?

Personaly i think that Eectric Dreams The Hood Maker is one of the worst episode I have ever seen in my life due to the weird and difficulte to understand plot and it was not funny enough for me. There are a lot of element that I did not understand because of the accent and the fast speaking flow of the one who wears a cowboy hat. To conclude I would say that Eectric Dreams The Hood Maker was a good episode but it wasn’t made for me as I don’t enjoy watching too serious series I prefer funny stuff.

I did not like this series at all, especially because there is only one episode . Seems a bit strange to me and precisely at the end there is no end,conclusion, we are immersed in a story full of suspense without having an answer later , the atmosphere was strange ,a city in ruins rather futuristic but very dirty , so it’s not what I like to see.

This serie is good because it watchs the separation between “Teeps” and “Normals”. This episode waths the fight between the two group and i think it ‘s the reflection of today.
This video is very dark and there are a lots of suspect but the end of the episode and the serie is too brutal and people needs to imagine the ahead

It was the first time I ever watched a distopia movie/serie and it totally goes along with my expectations of how the world may looks like if the mass surveillance goes this far. I find this episode quiet interresting and I think it’s a shame that we do not know the end of it.

I think Electric Dreams – The Hood Makeris is stranger series than any other. The atmosphere is really dark and disturbing. The music is dramatic as well as decorates it. The characters are sinister. Agent Ross is rather closed to himself and not very sociable. I dislike film because there is no action.

I was pleasantly surprised by the serie’s story however I’m not familiar with this type of universe and even if I enjoy the dark atmosphere,I didn’t like chatacters that I found annoying. I also found that some passages make us uncomfortable uselessly. At the end, I didn’t like this serie unlike other films on the subject of surveillance like Minority Report for exemple.

I enjoyed a lot watching this episode, it reminds me the Netflix’s serie named « Black Mirror » that I was crazy about ! The idea of an apocalyptic future was great. The actors played very well and the background of the scenes was beautiful and very apocalyptic. I also loved the idea of the teeps, they look very strong. I will watch the next episodes of the serie !

It’s a strange serie with a special atmosphere. For me, this episode is pretty good because we can understand very easily that telepaths are powerful and for that they are rejected by the normals. However there is few action scenes and it makes a little bit boring. I think I won’t watch the others episode.

Weird but great! This episode was really good. I liked how telepaths were represented. They are so cool, i want to be part of them… I totally recommend it! I enjoyed the dark side of this episode, and that annoying suspense at the end ahah… That was a perfect first episode, as weird as possible to create a big suspense, and a good scenario. I would maybe like more action, but it’s great for a first episode. I also enjoyed the realistic side of the episode. I even thought that the producer was trying to convey a message about our actual society… We will see in the next episode! 🙂
