New TV show that is an anthology series based off author Philip K. Dick's (basis of Blade Runner, Total Recall, Minority Report, Scanner Darkly, and many more) work.
There will be 10 episodes total, each episode is standalone and stars different people. For example Episode 4 is gonna have Steve Buscemi, episode 5 will have Bryan Cranston, etc. Some of the episodes were written by Ronald Moore (BSG reboot).
Should be pretty interesting, sounds a lot like Black Mirror crossed with Twilight Zone with some extra scifi/Harry Potter magic thrown in.
The first episode airs tonight (Sept 17th) in the UK on Channel 4. Amazon is supposed to air the series in the USA but have not yet announced a date.

Episode 1 summary
The Hood Maker
writer: Matthew Graham
director: Julian Jarrold
cast: Richard Madden, Holliday Grainger, Anneika Rose
synopsis: Set in a world without advanced technology and where mutant telepaths have become humanity’s only mechanism for long distance communication. But their powers have unintended implications and when the public begin to embrace mysterious, telepath-blocking hoods, two detectives with an entangled past are brought in to investigate.
Episode 2 summary
The Impossible Planet
writer/director: David Farr
cast: Jack Reynor, Geraldine Chaplin, Benedict Wong
synopsis: Two disillusioned, disenchanted and indifferent space tourism employees take up an elderly woman’s request for a trip back to Earth… the existence of which is a long-debunked myth. She appears easily confused, plus she’s rich – so, for the right payment, what’s the harm in indulging her fantasies? As the journey unfolds, however, their scam begins to eat away at them and they ultimately find themselves dealt a bittersweet surprise.

I believe all episodes are based on Dick's short stories. One episode was far in the future where Earth no longer existed.
It's been alright so far. Nothing mind-blowing, but entertaining for sure.
