A Disappointing Continuation

I never saw this show on cable. I only saw it as a filler show when t.v. stations would show cancelled productions as filler. However, I was working second shift and would get home after 11p. This actually made the show work for me even more.What it seems like some people don't understand about this show is the creators didn't want to make just another spin-off. This was made by fans of Philip K. Dick's questioning of what it means to be human. The show takes the themes and style of Dick's writing and builds a unique story around it. It may be intended to be in the same universe as "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep," however, in a way that is irrelevant. The show desires to have a unique richness all its own while paying homage to its inspiration.I would have the lights low to add to the moodiness. Having grown up immersed in the genre, I totally became enthralled with the plot. I still have memories of loving this show. If taken to its fullest production, this would have been a top notch worthy edition to the science fiction. Every episode lends to the greater texture of the overall story. Pure gold.

In the first time I watched Total Recall 2070 I was just thinking "Blade Runner". The backgrounds, the style, the futuristic look of the sets and the technology, all of them look like "Blade Runner". A nice show in overall, not only due to it's looks but also to it's story and sub-stories in each episode.

As far as TV series go, this one is perfect in every detail. I particularly appreciate the way relationships between the main characters are explored and developed. At last someone has created characters that are flawed and full of insecurities; nobody is a jock or a superhero.I have tried to participate in a "Save the Program" campaign, along with others who have enjoyed the series, but it seems that our efforts have been unsuccessful so far.

Having just seen the first episode of the series the overwhelming impression was that it was a remake of Blade Runner. The the gloomy sets, the constant advertising hoardings, the evil companies (Rekall is no longer a minor holiday company but is the equivalent of the Tyrell Corporation)were all more Blade Runner than Total Recall. Infact the plot itself whereby androids are trying to extend their life was that of Blade Runner. There was a minor plot involving fake holidays and an unnecessary trip to Mars to keep a link with the movie but throughout there was a sense that this was not the movie the producers wanted to make a series of. Having recognised this however it was enjoyable enough. The production values were good and if the plots become more original then it could be promising. Oh..It did answer the question left hanging at the end of the movie ...was it reality or an implanted memory? The movie ended with an atmosphere being restored to Mars but in the series there are still BioDomes and a red sky. So I guess Arnie is really strapped into a chair dreaming his life away.
