The Future Of

The Future Of-S1E1

It's not a documentary. It's more like reality TV documentary. Light content that could have been better. There are barely any credible professionals to back up what is envisioned as what the future could look like. People with weird titles such as futurologists and thanatologists alienated me a lot . There was no substance in their ideas. If anything they were all advertising their weird business and that's what this series felt like. Like an opportunity to promote a business that might have a bright future. We watched 3 episodes during our quarantine and we couldn't handle another second of it's vagueness. Lacks credibility and a lot of what we saw was far fetched.

For everyone who thinks Netflix is too woke, this series is a perfect example why. Sometimes I feel like Netflix is trying to shove their "mandatory diversity" agenda down everyone's throats, no matter how cringey and tacky it seems. Forced multiculturalism at its worst. I mean let's be honest: this program is by millennials, for millennials. Leave it to the godless heathens Netflix to do an entire 1/2 hour show on "Life After Death" and not ONCE even mention the word heaven! People already think these coastal elite liberals are a bunch of atheists; its propagranda like this that perpetuates this stereotype.

I really like the Verge's YouTube reviews and videos and I was excited to hear they were working with Netflix on a show given Netflix's propensity for high budget/quality. Not sure what happened with this show but the budget and quality were obviously lacking. The information given is more like imaginative speculation than any scientific facts or research. The format of the show is like one of those "educational and informational" shows on network TV after the news on the weekends, overly simple to the point that it seems childish.

If this is any indication of the future. Lord help us. This wasn't interesting AT ALL!!!! It was actually very hard to get into then even harder to hold my attention. It's just a bunch of bs as far as I'm concerned.

I wasn't aware you could make a show with as little substance as this one. The episodes are a loose, poorly-based speculation on "the future of" a given topic. This idea has a lot of potential and apparently zero execution. I would not recommend this show to anyone who wants to learn or has critical thinking skills. There are many other shows and better resources out there.

This docu series is just as bad as the articles they have on their website. They really need to stick to the Apple fanboy stuff. Experts in what exactly?

The show offers a superficial view into the possible future of technology. Allthough the show lacks any form of depth and is sometimes a bit too unrealistic (looking at you 'talking to your dog' episode) the show does offer some fun new visions for the future. Nothing too mindblowing, but enough to make you think.

I don't actually know how I got through 3 episodes. I should've just left it after the first 20 minutes of pseudo scientific bs, that leads nowhere and explains nothing. It's baffling how something like this gets approved and aired. If you can get paid creating stuff like that, then please hit me up.

Despite below-par and boring production, interesting ideas are presented, as another review pointed out. It's just creative theories and speculations yes, but that's all it claims to be. I liked it.
