From the mind of Jordan Peele and Charlie Sanders comes WEIRD CITY, a satirical anthology set in the not-too-distant future metropolis of Weird. In this dystopian setting of our show, the middle class has completely vanished dividing Weird City into two sections: Above the Line (The Haves), and Below the Line (The Have Nots). Presiding over the denizens of the city is the strange and mysterious Dr. Negari, who weaves all of our stories together. Each episode is a topic that pertains to present day life in America and the world: social media addiction, online dating, fitness obsession, etc.. WEIRD CITY captures the unease of modern urban living, in a bizarre and peculiar lens.
Decent swing at a dumbed down version of Black Mirror. It’s not bad, but it’s not good either. The first episode, starring Ed O’Neill, is pretty good, although it has its cringe moments. The others range from decent to absolutely crap, with cringe moments sprinkled everywhere. Two popcorns because some of the actors there actually have a good performance. This could have been way better if it weren’t so cringe.
