Hadn't seen that before thanks for the link. Within the first 10 minutes I thought it was very similar to The Thick Of It (probably my favourite programme) then two of the best characters from the series' came on to the scene in the recording studio.
 
Found series two a disappointment.


All episodes had potential but somehow fucked it up.


The leading ladies were all hotties though :)
 
:cosine:





Some nice ideas that didn't take the same dark turn as the first series.


I think White Bear was probably the best one from II, and it wasn't as good as any of series I.





Still, Utopia made up for any disappointment.
 
Just watched all of series 1. The third was definatley the best. Second was ok but dragged a bit, I suppose that was partly deliberate.
 
S1E3 definitely lived up to the hype - we stopped it five times to talk about it lol


But I think I liked #1 best...way more of a mindf*ck for me.














SPOILER

















Just finished S2E1...and I agree with the comment above, for this episode anyway; off to a great start and then something fizzled out. Seems like her screaming at the cliff would have sufficed as an ending.
 
out of S2 i think the first ep is the best. i didn't mind the ending of that one, just wish the world was fleshed out a little more.
 
Great point, maybe that's what felt so thin about it. It felt like so many French suspense/horror films before it, too. I kept expecting him to go HAL 9000 on her.
 
SPOILER:














i didn't understand how people wouldn't know about this tech? maybe the phone thing, which i felt they could have made a ep just exploring that premise, but bots of loved ones? they could have easily solved it by showing a quick passage of time before they introduce the robot concept.
 
MORE SPOILERS!











Yea! And somewhat related to that, I know they had her teetering between clear thinking and down the rabbit hole, but the parental visitations in the attic seemed out of character for her, the story, all of it. I guess they felt like they had to address the pregnancy, but they didn't.
 
MOOOORE SPOILERS:














yes. she understood it wasn't him, to the point of putting him out the house. wouldn't it be more painful to keep this thing around? and couldn't she just call the company to come and take him away? they must have a contingency plan for that sort of thing. it seems ridic not to. i still enjoyed it. compared to ep 3 of season 2 it's moliere.
 
Now that's a teaser!


Up to now it's been so well done production-wise - in every respect really - I can't wait to see how it falls apart.
 
Only seen season 1 so far, but DAMN. That's on some deep dysfunctional human race is fucked up tip.





Great to have something to watch that you can discuss with others. With Google glasses around the corner this is just so timely and on point. Good stuff.
 
Is there a way I can see this as an Amurican who *gasp* does not have Netflix?
 
There's an Xmas special on soon apparently. Should be available to you yanks via something called directTv apparently.
 
i´ve just finished reading ¨men, women and children¨..... it´s kind of a different take on societies relationship with technology and boy is it fucked up. makes you want to walk over to your router with a balpeen hammer.
