condition:human – Episode 1
Episode 1 of condition:human has been released online and is embedded below.
I like it a lot. It’s stylish, looking great, better than a long list of TV SF series I could mention. I loved how it was brave enough to leave space, not fill it with unnecessary dialogue, instead letting the wonderful visuals and moody Bladerunner-esque soundtrack do the talking. Or at times just silence and visuals. It’s the type of bare realism that only indie films seem to manage. There’s also no talking down to the audience, the initial set-up is handled nicely and there’s no mindless infodumps, instead the exposition is shown and the main character is revealed in natural scenes.
It’s an episode that sets up the story nicely, and I’m looking forward to see where it heads next.
The next episode is online on 15th April.
