Oh dear the lack of posts on this episode plus this post does not sound good. I was going to watch on +1 but I think I might give it a miss and go to sleep.

Episode 2 and they havent told us
Who is the guy with the black synth and who is he searching for and why. Who the hell is Paul Faye Who is the goody and who is the baddie Who the hell is everyone How is the synth whore connected to anyone A story is only good if they tell us what the hell it it that we are watching. Crikey 'Who is the goody and who is the baddie'? - Must every drama boil down to this? And it's quite clear 'who the hell is everyone' if you pay attention, it's simple enough to get a decent understanding from the first episode alone. All of the advanced synth (yes, including 'the synth whore') are connected to the guy who is searching for them, he either developed them or got them from somebody originally - however they were all stolen (aside from the black synth) and then sold on, thus one is now in a whore house, one is now in the family's household (Anita) |

This hasn't grabbed me as much as I was hoping. It's probably down to everyone in the main family (bar the young daughter) being bloody annoying - particularly the mother. Will give it another episode, otherwise I think that's it for me.
I really am enjoying but totally agree the Family are a pain in the arse |

I wouldn't trust the things either.
I'm waiting for someone to come along and say the original series was so much better, the son got a blowie instead of just copping a feel. |

I enjoyed tonight.
It is derivative but I think because it's well-written it doesn't take anything away from it. If there is a flaw I think it may be that Katherine Parkinson (who I usually really like)'s character is difficult to like. Also did she answer husband when he asked her if something happened while she was away? |

Gawd I don't like Fraulein Hitler who's looking after the old man. He should stick her face under the grill or something. |

I wonder who will have sex with Anita first, the boy or dad?
I also think that could all end up being some red herring, like Laura becomes convinced the husband is having sex with Anita but he isn't. I'm also feeling this whole show could end up with Laura in a mental institution, just get that vibe that it could have a whole Basic Instinct ending with her being carted off. I don't actually buy a sex worker synth would be allowed to simulate rape or being young, given the campaign to ban rape-style porn and combat rape culture I'm sure that would be built in as something they couldn't do even if a man wanted it. I also would have liked them to show male sex worker synths, the whole thing kinda continued the same media line on sex work that we get anyway and the dude looked very stereotypically pedophile. I kinda wish we saw more of the fallout from the synths taking over the low income work, surely unemployment must be high or are those humans now involved in the synth industry? I do like the show a lot though, just have those couple of gripes about it. |

Same here. Rebecca Front was excellent too, as the 'carer' of William Hurt

I hope the series is as good as the original. I'll be watching the tonight's episode tomorrow as I'm feeling very sleepy and tired right now.

I wonder if an economics expert could tell us how likely it would be for expensive robots to take over so many menial jobs that the kids would have no job prospects. How many bosses paying minimum wage could afford to buy/lease robots?

The daughter suggested the janitor was 20k worth of school equipment, so thats a pretty reasonable price for someone who only needs to charge overnight, doesn't require holidays, sick leave, maternity leave or lunch hours. So its likely they would take a lot of but probably not all the low paid work.
I'm sure you can pay on some kind of HP agreement or get a synth loan like a car loan though as I doubt the father just popped out and dropped 20k like that. |

Loving this.
It's only occasionally I like dramas/series, usually just one or two a year e.g. Being Human, Happy Valley, In the Flesh, What Remains, Most of them I can't be arsed with, but this is really good. |

I find all the characters really obvious e.g. the pervy teenager, the stroppy daughter, the sad, old men seeking sex-bots, etc. etc.
ETA: and the spider was most unwelcome. |

Yeah the stroppy daughter kinda annoys me, its a character we see all the damn time on these shows, reminds me a bit of Homeland, the constant pout on her face.

Who is the goody and who is the baddie?
Or maybe anyone who dresses all in black and drives a black car will be the "baddie" you are looking for

Still trying to warm to this. The teenage daughter annoys me also. Not as original as Utopia.

Do we know the name of the synth that escaped the whorehouse yet? I can't recall her swedish opposite.
She looked a good actress. That silent scream bit was heavy. |
