“Hey, remember the 1980s?”

Counterpoint: The show is pretty good.

If they lean in on the dystopian stuff like this trailer suggests and step back from the “isn’t he craaaaazy” unreliable narrator nonsense this could be very very good.

That recitation of the Leonard Cohen “Democracy” makes it even more chilling. Even more than the sang version. But it still the perfect soundtrack to world falling apart. Just add “Everybody Knows”, “The Future” And “First We Take Manhattan” and you have basically all Mr. Robot covered.

Sold. I’m there.

There won’t be a single piece of scenery left unchewed.

Rowan Atkinson never ceases to amaze me with how well he can oscillate between arch, cliche character and straight forward acting. Just when you think you have him pegged.....

Rowan Atkinson was so brilliant in this. I loved how straight her played the Doctor, despite it clearly being a spoof. And Pryce was brilliant, Dalek bumps and everything.

Also, Joanna Lumley was already a very Doctor-like character — she was Sapphire in Sapphire and Steel. 

Obviously that’s the secret hidden “9th” pick that we won’t know about until 8 years from now.

Considering that up until 6 months ago my wife thought Stormtroopers were called Startroopers and were the good guys- I assume nothing.
