The season finale does not pull in any way, the shift shift is maximum

@Suor: in fact, there is a shift shift. The production of 16 episodes was launched, divided into two seasons. By the way, the same situation is with Lapsy, another series by the same participants. Apparently, these people just can't climax and cliffhangers.

@GreenHouse: The scriptwriters merged a lot of moments, made a smooth-cut thriller. For example, Arisa kills a man at the very beginning of the first episode, no shock, they didn't show us that robots shouldn't do that. It was necessary to show the whole series how safe and uncomplaining they are, they are beaten, but they do not respond, they do not save themselves so as not to harm a person, etc. Then there would be a contrast when killing Arisa.

The moment with the robot child was similarly merged. It was necessary to show how sick he was, they treated him, they worried, the doctor showed miracles there, then the decisive moment, it's not entirely clear what happened and they show that the child is fine, everyone calms down and then he turns out to be an android.

I agree about the child, it would be interesting to know his fate.

@Suor: Actually, Asimov's laws of robotics, read out at the very beginning, are enough. Well, for those who have read SF classics, of course. She's like an exhibit for this movie. And you want to stretch it for the ignoramuses for a whole series... No, they did everything right.

I'm wondering if this bald guy buries all the corpses in his yard or just those he "likes." On the other hand, there probably aren't that many corpses, because he can't hit at point-blank range, and he doesn't shoot at finishing (are bullets expensive?).

I'm kind of disappointed that the Chinese line didn't lead to anything. Maybe in the second season?

The cliche is to talk to a person for a long time before killing them instead of killing them right away.

@НиколайДубравин: It's especially funny that android lends itself to this cliche.

@НиколайДубравин: since episode 8 (as it is now clear) is not the final, but only the half, then the motives of the bald man are still unknown. If he deliberately injured him so that he could get out and become an irreconcilable terrorist, then it's a strained motive. If you really wanted to kill and hit me in the shoulder, then that's nonsense...

Two seasons of 8 episodes were announced... Therefore, here we will have to sum up some results. Despite the fact that I like the series and consider it better than the Swedish original, the flaws still showed up.
First of all, the liquidators are some kind of crap - leftist youth who hang robots because they take away jobs... And which is managed by the head of security of the company that manufactures robots... Something is clearly not thought out here. Even in 2029, this would hardly have happened.
Secondly, the tender... Of course, I understand that there is great hope that in 2029 someone will win the multibillion-dollar government contract on a fair tender, and not Rotenberg by a decision from above... But somehow it seems to me that this line is also a bit half-baked))
But in general, there is only one serious technical complaint - if you declare two seasons of 8 episodes each, then you can't move the first climax to episode 9 (tender), and the finale doesn't even know where! The story must have a logical conclusion. And at all... You can't show 1 episode per week. Another practice.

@Serg11: Everything got mixed up in the Oblonskys' house... Reshala is not the head of the Security Service at all, but the "black accomplice" of the head of the company, with whom he is concocting some leftist dealings.

As for the ideological youth, they are such a rebellious age. It has always been a fertile material for manipulation. The same accomplice most likely gave the ideas, but they already believed, accepted them for their own, and decided to break away. You don't even have to go far for examples, either in time or space...

@id62098647: What confuses you about the head of security? Their plan is to create a gang of teenagers who wholeheartedly hate robots that take jobs and thereby increase unemployment and the material well-being of all citizens. In fact, this situation in society is translated in a completely different way - everyone feels sorry for the robots that are bloodthirstily thrown from the bridge. As a result, a negative mood is formed in society towards the liquidators, since people tend to sympathize with the victims. Consequently, a negative mood towards liquidators creates a positive mood towards robots, since they seem defenseless and harmless. Voila! Robots continue to be loved, or even more!

@perevezencmeow: financial status is being lowered, a typo

@id62098647: and the fact that the liquidators are young people is the most standard situation. Youthful maximalism and the desire to establish justice in society.
