Beacon 23 (2023– )
8/10
Remember there is no clear timeline for this story yet
29 November 2023
Watched 4 episodes and I am really into it.

I really don't get the current reviews of this title. People talk about writing and how the plot does not feel real or accurate. People, no timeline has been set yet, so everything is possible in a certain way.

Not everything has to be explained like in japanese anime. I believe if you are a science fiction veteran, you will find you own landmarks until the plot unfolds, if it does.

I love that each episodes brings a new science fiction theme, but most of all I love the mystery aspect of each characters. Characters don't have contemporary behaviors, so in my opinion that is another set of clues to make hypothesis about the "outside world of the beacon".

I also think the script is good, interactions between characters feels weird and out of this world, but again, it takes place in a fully unknown world. Even AI are cool and weirdly designed which brings something new to AI driven stories.

It reminds me of some K. Dick. Work, or a mix of shows like Altered Carboned and Nightflyers (the latter was not that good in my opinion).
