Pretty meh. I do like the European calmness


Unfortunately the robot special effects are quite lame and the lack of a decent budget is screaming at you in every scene.

And it is so inconsistent! In one scene the robots straight up slaughter several soldiers with their lame blowguns, in another they try to wrestle with(/make love to) an old man..? And they are supposedly this very scary and unbeatable killing machines, but an old lady simply one-shot murders one?

I can put up with lame robots much more primitive than what we can produce today, but i can not stand such ridiculous inconsistencies.

You say calmness, I say snoozefest! Holy guacamole, I gave this show a shot but for the third time in a row I fell asleep in the middle of it, then woke hours later to find the finale episode playing. Epix or whatevertheheck is running it must think I am the number 1 binge watching fan of this thing.

On a brighter note, I haven’t slept this well and uninterrupted in ages.
