It’s a subversive funhouse. A lot of the initial expected trappings seem in place, but the show ruthlessly attacks tropes from the second episode onward. Nothing plays out the way it should, and often the show has a sense of ever-present danger usually lacking from children’s fantasy cartoons.
Indie sci-fi and fantasy filmmakers rejoice! The Volume is your next creativity empowering tool. For some time we’ve known that AAA video game environments have looked completely realistic and that the same technology has been used to create special effects in film and television VFX.

The alien worlds are not the appeal of this show, as strange as that sounds. You only get five broken minutes or so of CGI footage per episode.

The thing about reviewers and critics is that we sometimes get overwhelmed with the sameness of media—and thus crave anything unique.
Just completed my first viewing of the entire Battlestar Galactica (Re-imagined) Series. Wow! It’s not what I was expecting at all. As a die-hard Trek fan, one of the things that always bothered me about it was the emphasis on technology worship and a distinct de-emphasis or outright absence of spirituality in the series. It…

Doctor Who is a fun, campy show most of the time, but it occasionally decides to terrify. The Daleks are the most famous example, but there’s more to see than just one evil alien race. More twisted, disturbing, and dark things out in that universe.
