We just watched the trailer for Maniac and we liked what we saw!

When a new Sci-Fi series:-

1. Features Production Design and film sets which cause you to pause and rewind a hundred times

2. Includes one of our favourite lights – the Luxo L1 task lamp (as also seen in the Pixar ident and Toy Story)

“Once you believe the structure of the mind there’s no reason to believe that anything about us can’t be changed”
and
“What is this multi reality brain magic shit?”

6. Stars Emma Stone, Jonah Hill and Sally Field
