NetflixEasyFrom True Detective to American Horror Story, anthology shows have exploded in recent years. As well as varied tales, there are big-name appearances from the likes of Orlando Bloom and comics Hannibal Buress and Marc Maron. Accompanying the launch of SyFy’s latest futuristic drama – about an investigation into the murder of a virtual reality company bigwig in 2040 – come five scripted virtual reality tales. What sets it apart, however, is the quality of the guests and Thorn’s honest, nonintrusive presenting style. Whether it’s Spike Lee on gentrification or Shamir talking gender troubles, each episode is warm and insightful.
