I wanted to like "Dead Pixels" (S01, 6eps, 22-min) since I'm into gaming culture but this was um, maybe too authentic? The nerdiness, the geekiness, was a bit too on the nose, and the characters aren't that likable though definitely relatable. The show's overall tone is dark, lonely, socially disengaged, nerd ragey, and I don't think there were any happy moments, even in the finale where they achieved their gaming goal. The Brits aren't an optimistic people or culture and to us Dead Pixels is just depressing and hopeless, maybe the Brits are used to this but not us Yanks.
score 3/10
