It has been said that this is the strongest episode of Electric Dreams anthology series. This does not bode well then.
There was nothing too special about The Hood Maker and the dark, grungy look of the dystopian society was just off putting and very much a cliché.
The visuals might had been inspired by Blade Runner but the story was more reminiscent of Minority Report.
The police use Teeps, who are special telepaths to read people's mind and the public are not happy as it is an invasion of their privacy. Special hoods have been created to block the telepaths.
Honor is a Teep but her new partner Agent Ross is someone she finds hard to read. This is a relationship based on mutual distrust as they hunt for the hoodmaker.
The story is a parable of modern times. The influence of government snooping, anti terror legislation etc. It just a shame that the episode was too po faced and drab.
