1. The "divine" wormhole;
2. The "extra" people for whom it is intended to be a new home;
3. A tempting opportunity to get rid of problems and/or gnawing emotions;
4. The main character, who has the courage to make a difficult decision, knowing in advance about the consequences.
And all together it adds up to a story about the substitution of reality, about WHAT defines everyone as a person and a personality.
The series complements and expands the original story, a good adaptation, a colorful cast, a wild atmosphere is available. Gorgeous!
Unfortunately, I have not read the stories, but I really, really want to do it.
P.S. How Timothy Spall has aged after all...

(The Commuter)
The little man slowly pushed his way through the crowd of people who filled the foyer of the railway station to the ticket window. He was tired, and you could tell by the way his shoulders sagged, and even by the way his brown coat sagged. He was waiting impatiently for his turn.
—Next," breathed Ed Jacobson, who was selling tickets.
The little man shoved a five-dollar bill through the window.
"Give me a ticket, the old one is over," he stared at the clock hanging behind Jacobson. "Oh, my God, is it really that late?"
Jacobson took five dollars.
— O.K. Travel card. To which station?
—Macon Heights,— the little man replied.
—Macon Heights,— Jacobson looked at the diagram. — Macon Heights? There is no such station.
The little man's face froze. He looked at Ed suspiciously.
— Is this some kind of joke?
— Mister, there is no such place as Macon Heights. I cannot sell you a ticket if there is no such station.
— What do you want to say? I live there!
— I don't care. I've been selling tickets for six years now. There is no such place.
The little man's eyes bulged in amazement.
— But I have a house there. I go there every night. I...
" Here,— Jacobson handed him his diagram. — Look for it.
The little man grabbed the diagram and began frantically running his trembling fingers through the list of cities.
— Have you found it? Jacobson asked, sticking his head out the window. "He's not here, is he?"
The little man shook his head. He was visibly shaken.
— I don't understand anything. That's nonsense. There must be something wrong.
Surely there must be some kind of…
And suddenly he was gone. The diagram fell to the concrete floor. Shorty was gone—Before Ed could blink, Shorty was gone.
—Holy Ghost,— he breathed. His mouth opened and closed noiselessly. And only the diagram remained lying on the concrete floor.
Shorty ceased to exist.
— And then what? Bob Payne asked.
— I went out into the lobby and picked up the diagram.
— Did he really disappear?
— Well, yes, he disappeared, — Jacobson wiped the sweat from his forehead. "It's a pity you weren't around. He disappeared as if the lights had been turned off. Absolutely. Mute. No movement...
in front of us. P.S. it seems this is still the best of 3 episodes, everything is very harmonious and in its place.
For a long time I remembered where I saw the main character - it's Peter Pettigrew :)
It turns out that she takes people to Macon Heights who are undesirable in society? But then why did she take the waitress? Or did she give up on her own in order not to suffer in the real world?
And yet, at the end of the episode, this man in a coat (who harms children) said that he tried to come back, but it didn't work out because he had no choice. But then he went and got on the train...
why do some stay there overnight and some go back?)
And the series is cool, much better than the previous one, as for me.
And the dude from the preacher, who harms children, also wanted to return his life to the way it was before the first visit to this paradise, but could not, unlike the main character
And also, I orgasm with my eyes every time I watch an intro, it's just tin))
You can understand Ed why he wanted to return everything as it was, who has children (whatever they grow up to be), that is, a happy memory (as on the tapes), the first steps of the child, the first words...It's all touching
and thanks for the link to the text of the story )
True: Black mirror is a fantasy anthology series
true: Electric Dreams is a fantasy anthology series
wrong: Electric Dreams "It's one hundred percent Black mirror!"
the series turned out great, but again there was a slight residue in the form of a "prediction of the future" from madama, who does not even exist and how she knows all this is not clear.
I liked Jamie Vue's description in the story and the fact that the unfulfilled past came true. the story is much more positive, imho.
Город - продвинутое убежище/тюрьма для некоторых индивидов, которым не место в нормальном мире.
Решает все и играет в Бога - дочь автора проекта.
"Жизнь с Правдой VS Счастливая Жизнь", и мы смотрим всю серию в основном на частный случай одной семьи, тогда как "В рассказе несколько главных героев".
Вообщем вся вина на сценаристах.
Такая же тема была в "Футурологическом конгрессе" Лема и там она подана лучше, масштабнее.
Здесь же логика и здравый смысл пожимают плечами.
Лучше бы выставили дочь уже совершенно поехавшим полубогом, а продавца билетов тем кто прекратил бы весь этот цирк.
Что касается серии, она как раз мне меньше понравилась, чем предыдущие. Может, именно потому, что понятнее и распутаннее.
Вопрос, на мой взгляд, лежит все-таки в плоскости этики, а не выбора или любви какой-то. Или просто снято так.
