Clarke Nellins

Name a TV series like it...exactly. At the start it was often compared to fight club because of similar themes but the show has far outgrown this image. It tackles different themes to great effect, showing a Stanley Kubrick influence as it does this. This Stanley Kubrick influence can be seen in different aspects from writing to cinematography with subtle nods along the way. Like Stanley Kubrick, Sam Esmail tries new things narrativity and visually and does so successfully in my opinion. Its a story which demands 100% of your attention as if you don't you could find yourself a bit lost in the mayhem that occurs but you will be more than happy to give that attention as you lose yourself in the gripping story that is Elliot.
