As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

Sounds interesting. Always promising when based on source material, so there's hopefully a coherent story to base things on.
Here’s a question: Is technology good or bad? If Netflix’s Black Mirror wasn’t enough to swing your answer to a definitive “bad,” then swing over to Amazon’s The Feed for another look at near-future science fiction nightmares gone miserably awry. The first 10-episode season of the series debuts in full on Amazon Prime November 22, 2019, and the streaming service debuted its first trailer today.

Based on a novel by Nick Clark Windo, The Feed focuses on a titular piece of technology that connects humans together via the instant recording and sharing every single human experience (sorta like Black Mirror episode “The Entire History of You” taken to its logical extremes). A young couple (Guy Burnet and Nina Toussaint-White) with a new baby girl do their best to live off the grid — er, off the feed — despite their family connection to the creation. Burnet’s father, played by David Thewlis (Naked, Big Mouth), is the creator of the despicably ubiquitous social network. Thewlis’ wife, played by Michelle Fairley (Game of Thrones), is its CEO. Thus, when violent complications regarding the Feed ensue, endangering everyone who uses it, Burnet and Toussaint-White must tangle with the knots of their complicated family history to survive and save the human race. In other words, it’s Black Mirror meets Arrested Development, which means it is 100% a show we are interested in watching.
It's not me, it's someone else.
