Will We Ever Get Another Season of 'Dimension 404'?
Dimension 404 on Hulu is a science fiction anthology show in the tradition of The Twilight Zone and The Outer Limits. TV writer Andrea Kail loved the fifth episode, "Bob," about a (literal) giant brain who works for the National Security Agency. "I thought this was one of the best things I've seen in a long time," Kail says in Episode 347 of the Geek's Guide to the Galaxy podcast. "I thought it was incredibly good filmmaking, and incredibly great writing and acting. There was nothing about it I didn't love."
Is 'Dimension 404' A Rip-Off Of 'Black Mirror' And 'Twilight Zone'?
"Dimension 404" has been compared to "Black Mirror," but it seems the two shows may have more differences than similarities. "Dimension 404" and "Black Mirror" were both inspired by "The Twilight Zone," and they both tackle issues related to technology. For this reason, the two shows have been compared to each other, but they have a distinct difference. For one, Hulu's new science fiction drama is not as dark as Netflix's show. "Dimension 404" aims to give a lighter take on the science-fiction-horror genre.
Actually, 'Dimension 404' isn't 'Black Mirror.' It's something weirder.
When the trailer dropped for Hulu's new series Dimension 404, made by web content studio RocketJump, you could have been forgiven for picking up a very Black Mirror vibe. Like Black Mirror, Dimension 404 is a science-fiction anthology series with a new story every episode. Each story features some kind of technology gone wrong (the 404, of course, refers to the error code when a web page is not found). Turns out they were also wrong. SEE ALSO: 'Black Mirror' is back, and your nightmares will never be the same Black Mirror, Charlie Brooker's UK-born hit, which moved to Netflix for its third season last year, goes out of its way to disturb you.
Mark Hamill is narrating a Hulu show all about internet horrors
"I'm sorry viewer, the TV show you're searching for cannot be streamed in your reality. Please stand by for reconnection." Those are the opening lines of Hulu's new show Dimension 404, a show that explores "the wonders and horrors of our digital age" in six one-hour episodes. If that makes you think of Black Mirror, you're not alone. But Dimension 404, which debuts on April 4, is not as similar to the BBC series (which Netflix distributes in the U.S.) as you might think.
