Light-hearted and yet deeply philosophical about life
3 May 2020
What makes us human? What makes a "good" life? Do we affect anything in our actions when we intend good or bad?

The series tackles these most human of questions, but in a wacky comedy/thriller/romance/sci-fi mashup that feels all to real in spots and hilariously dysfunction with technology that is more advanced but still with the same broken people. (The entire subplot of Byron contains so, so many zings. WHY WOULD TECHNOLOGY OFFER THESE BENEFITS?)

It takes aim at current cultural, social, and business trends. (The "5-star system" is the new "work at will" law, with arbitrary goals and demerits designed to make sure that the most desperate can never succeed.)

The creatives here are brilliant. Just enough new stuff to make this feel slightly futuristic, but not so much that we don't retain that human connection with these people. Well, are they *all* really people?

Thoroughly enjoyed this. Binge-watched it. Unbelievable brilliance.
