What a happy ending and a humane Arisa sacrificing her life for the happiness of the main user! Apparently there will be season 2, we all guessed who asked George for help)
Egor's stupidity knows no bounds. This is his "we must save the Leopard". Whom? The one who held your father hostage and threatened him? The one who killed innocent people? It feels like this character has no brains at all from the word. It's necessary to figure out under a bunch of cameras to go out and report that he hates bots and try to detonate a bomb!
Overall, the season turned out to be quite good. A fascinating 16 episode story. The only thing that seemed to me was that the screenwriters didn't put the squeeze on Arisa's line. She has been just a robot all season, which does what is written in her settings - protects her authorized user. And so I wanted this story to be translated into something large-scale by the end, and not just "Help me" on Safronov's phone. Anyone who has watched a similar British series will understand what I'm getting at.
@ramill: No, this series is better than the British one precisely because Arisa is unique, and not one of many similar robots. and there is no underground android movement for their rights here... And in the last episodes, she does not perform the settings at all, but contradicts them - it is obvious that she is "in love" with Safronov and sacrifices herself for him, and does not protect the authorized user. It's a great move... But I agree that her line is not twisted. This conflict had to be intensified. People should have felt that it was this tin can, which bothered them so much, that actually saved everyone)) And in general, it would be possible to keep within 10 episodes. It would be an ideal series! And so just a good one))
@id62098647: I didn't compare which series is better in my comment. I was just expressing my opinion about Arisa's line. And if we compare, I wrote earlier that our storyline is even more interesting, if only in the end it would not be merged but translated into something large-scale. And they didn't merge and didn't take it to the next level. Perhaps everyone perceives differently, but judging by the plot, Arisa is just doing what is written in her settings. He does everything to save his family. Obviously, she knew what she would remember anyway, and allowed us to dig into her memory, etc., but we never found out what she loves or dislikes. At the time of episode 16, she is just a unique bot that can "upgrade" and get better. And we will see where it can lead better only in season 2. Yes, that's what I'm talking about. That the message of the series is good, and analogies with life can be drawn, but they did not put the squeeze on. I also agree about 10 episodes:)
p.s. In the British version, by the way, they were also unique initially. In theory, people like Arisa can also be stamped in the future.
The final is normal. If it hadn't been for the last cliff seconds, it would have been possible to leave it like that. I hope Netflix's money will be spent on season 2. The dynamics there will be completely different, and Arisa still has a lot to grow. I'd like to see it.
A good cheerful series and an equally cheerful final episode. The final can be interpreted in different ways, including as an open one. Even if there is no second season, you don't have to worry, we've already been shown enough for 16 episodes.
@Sergeypolyakov: Because Arisa is right. So, at least the characters say, even though they have the pronunciation of the jambs in places, it is indicated on the kinopoisk and the Start service. Alice is Yandex's voice assistant.
@Sergeypolyakov: it is noted here on the website that 1,473 people watch the series. You're the first one who hears Alice. Yes, it may seem that way from time to time. Moreover, in the territory of the Russian Federation, the name Alice is more common than Arisa and is perceived better by ear. But her name is Arisa, that's what all the characters in the series call her.
@ramill: Until the fourth episode, I was sure that she was Alice, and she also looked like a "Guest from the Future." Only the child could hear the "r" clearly. Until the inscription appeared.
And by the end of the series, after talking to the Chinese, I thought that she was meant to be Alice, they just don't pronounce the "l", like the Japanese =))
@Really_Bad_Boy: You have some kind of prejudice, everyone has a very clear professional diction. We heard Alice, most likely, because of the strangeness of the name. The only one who couldn't be mistaken was the burr baby. Well, after reading it on the screen, the doubts were dispelled.
@Really_Bad_Boy: It's a strange logic, of course, but currently, when the IC or SIZO are located within the city, there is also the possibility to use a drone and take someone out.
I'm waiting for the second season) Awesome series. Although Safronov is dumb, of course. Arisa starts telling him something sensible, but he shuts her up all the time.
the harsh rush of the future, surrounded by robots, cool technologies and all the same gray sleeping areas and dilapidated cars, poor hospitals, and the ubiquitous Sberbank))) as for the Russian series, it's quite watchable) I hope Netflix won't let you down with season 2)
@RedZee: Well, selling to Netflix doesn't mean handing over production to them. They will just officially show it on their service. If there is a second season, then it will be done, as before, at the Start, as I believe.
@Мася: the rights (specifically the rights, not the right to show) to the series were sold to the Netflix platform, on which it will be the first among Russian TV projects to be released under the Netflix Original brand. And Netflix Original is content that is produced, produced, and distributed independently by Netflix. So I think the 2nd season will be released, and it will be released on Netflix, they bought something in vain, and for a lot of money for a Russian series)))
@RedZee: Netflix Original is the exclusive Netflix content on the show's premises. Of course, all their own series automatically become Original. But there is another thing: the British Luther was Original in the United States, because no one showed it there except Netflix, but the Canadian Dark Matter was not, because it was already shown by SYFY (while the Canadian Travelers was Original again, as an exclusive). Thus, "Better than People" may be Original outside of Russia, but not here, and at the same time not related to Netflix production. Besides, season 2 didn't seem to be announced, so only the rights to show the first one were bought. Anyway, if Netflix had become a full-fledged partner, I think it would have been announced with much more aplomb.
I was pleased with the first half of the series, then the mess started with frankly stupid actions. Well, there was no progress in the plot in the second half either - everything revolved around the same thing. In short, the second half greatly underestimated the level of work done.
In the beginning, even such small things as clouding the glass of the office when the door closes were pleasing. And it was a lot of fun. Then... sadly.
Although the series is an adaptation of "real people" (the original) and "people" (the American adaptation), the plot is completely different. The visual component was taken from the original. This is where the comparison will have to end. The plot has a classic genre for Russian TV series - melodrama. But, unlike other Russian TV series, this one looks in one go and is interesting. There are drawdowns. There is a lot of Sberbank advertising from different spheres of life - it has captured Russia. Bottom line: not bad 9/10 (4/5)
how pleased I was with the ending :-)) everything is how I love it - all loving couples have joined, everyone is happy, the villain is dead :-) True, this Gleb is still a villain, but it seemed to me that he is not an ideological villain, but an unscrupulous performer for money, and doing evil just for the soul is not his. Maybe he'll settle down somewhere with the money he earned and it'll all be over.
I was torn apart by emotions the whole series. First Yegor's stupidity, then Arisa, who killed people. Then the police, who tried to imprison the main character for a crime, but at the same time this is the main character, what kind of prison does he need? I've never been so happy about an open ending. Arisa is the terminator. She's unkillable at all. And the scenes during the credits 🥺
an amazing series. not a single character that I would like to empathize with.... as their "main characteristics" were introduced for the first 3-5 episodes, so it rolled. Egor's level of "blondness"... Why are the scriptwriters doing this to him?) On the third attempt, for the sake of a "tick", I managed to finish watching. But the series found its audience anyway, and that's good) I am also glad that some futuristic themes have found their way into our production. It's a pity, of course, that again only in the form of a "remake" of someone else's idea through the prism of our "cops/thugs". Sometimes it seems that this part of reality cannot be cut out, even at the level of fiction((
@DarjaKuznetsova: They said it in plain text: for the sake of George's safety. For the stupid, I'll explain on my fingers: Toropov manipulated Arisa all 16 episodes with the help of threats to Safronov. Arisa did not fulfill the last part of the deal (she did not kill the patient). And so that her beloved family wouldn't get hurt again, she found such an original move that would solve the problem once and for all. After all, if she becomes completely Toropov's, then there is no point in touching the Safronovs, it will be enough just to order her. Plus, she had an agreement with Maslov, who generally wanted her to kill the boss, and accordingly "fabricated" the erasure of memory. Well, Arisa herself had obviously decided to have her own way and was waiting for the right moment to expose him. More precisely, they had already done this with Maslov himself, handing Varlamov her memory files.
@id202115727: For some reason, I felt sorry for him too, although I don't usually feel sorry for villains. At some point, a clear thought arose that if Svetlana had behaved differently (in general, in her entire life), he would not have gone so far down the crooked path. A strong character. And unhappy from all sides: the son died, the wife frostbitten, the friend betrayed, the father-in-law pressed... When Vic followed him out of the seal pool, I was already amazed. An unscrupulous guy, but determined, bitch! (I'm already silent that handsome =)) And yes, somehow Gleb alone didn't get what he deserved. But one can hope that Varlamov will eventually nail him as a performer - there are witnesses. And the fact that he used a drone to get even with his employer indicates that access to the prison has already been blocked for him, which means that the Leopard can drown him in full, and so can Zhanna.
It's a very decent series, with a pretty interesting storyline. However, the second part of the season lost its originality and originality when the creators began to stretch the plot into melodramatism, twisting some specific love triangles, adding Lara and aggravating Arisa's feminine habits. This weakened the series quite a lot. But in general, it's very good.
There's a lot to be said about this series. Personally, I want to mention the diverse stories connected in one main plot. All these lines develop smoothly throughout the season. As a result, it combines perfectly. No, of course there are also bad sides, in some cases, absurd actions, lack of logic. Some minor or even "third-degree" actors act poorly, to put it mildly. First of all, this is noticed on everyone who played "bots", but not on Pauline (who played Arisa) she did a great job, in my opinion. Separately, it is pleasant to watch Kyaro, Ustyugov, Polukhin. And although some of them can be charged for monotonous acting everywhere, they are coping with the task. After episode 4, I wanted to find out more and more quickly what would happen next.
