By now it is more than clear that, if you are a fan of science fiction, there is a platform designed specifically for you: Apple TV+. Tim Cook’s VOD service has dozens of series and movies of the genre ranging from the fanciest and most childish to the most reflective and dark. And in this last group is Dr. Brain, a series from South Korea that premiered in 2021 and has one season on the streaming platform.
Dr. Brain didn’t have very good reviews at the time, but it’s a very dark series that surprises you with its different plot twists and its convoluted storyline. It’s one of those series that doesn’t leave you indifferent, and although you can choose between hating it and loving it, it’s definitely worth watching so you can decide for yourself what your opinion is about it.
On the threshold of death
The plot of Dr. Brain follows Sewon Koh, a brilliant neuroscientist who develops a revolutionary technology to synchronize human brains. After experiencing a tragic family loss, Sewon uses his invention to access the memories of deceased individuals, hoping to uncover the truth behind the events that have shattered his life.
While exploring the memories of the dead, Sewon immerses himself in a world of conspiracies and dark secrets. His scientific skills lead him to confront powerful enemies and question reality itself. As he delves into the minds of others, Sewon must deal with the side effects of his invention, which jeopardize his mental and physical health.
Undoubtedly, it is a series that mixes all kinds of concepts and highlights, with a quite accurate script, what lies behind death and loss. A new gem to keep in mind on Apple TV+.
