Just finished watching Mute on Netflix, it had potential but never quite lived up to it. Not bad but not great either … meh I guess.

I enjoyed the light touch approach to sci fi though, where the setting and attendant technology are really just like any other background, only barely brushing up against the plot in organic ways, guiding events gently. Because sci fi elements are too often heavily leaned on as contorted crutches, in order to make otherwise clearly broken and disjointed storytelling limp along in some semblance of plausibility.
