Gaping plot hole for me.
There is no way Society would be that normal with Millions of people unable to find work Governments would fall. People wouldn't be able to buy even rent houses that is the problem when they keep pushing this issue, its like the fall out cant be covered either because of Budget or so many stories as is. |

Agree about the family thing. I feel they played their part and there's no where for them to go from here. Shoe horning storylines in just to give them something to do might be a mistake. Otherwise, really enjoyed the opening episode. Niska is funny. She appears to have mastered the art of sarcasm quite well for an AI.

In theory would it matter if bots all took over jobs?
We should, by then, be able to live well without needing to work. This is what the leaders of the industrial revolution thought would happen in a hundred years. Or, would the Synths just make us our money to pay for these things

Or, would the Synths just make us our money to pay for these things ![]() Once a country trials UBI at a modest level and it becomes moderately successful, I presume it will be implemented more and more throughout the world as workplace automation increases. Basically, a portion of the profits saved from hiring someone on a monthly wage would be paid as a citizen income tax by the company to fund everyone to sit at home and be paid enough to live on. Of course, this will fluctuate from country to country and cause civil unrest to a certain degree while problems are ironed out but eventually it will become standard as large swathes of particularly repetitive low paid jobs are automated. Anyone remember doing Data Entry jobs in the late 80's and early 1990's? I do. I used to love doing those types of jobs as a youngster... but you can't get them now since the internet became widespread and everyone started 'doing their own data entry' by filling out forms on line. Am I now out of a job with no hope or prospects because of computers? No. With computers came different jobs, such as the PHP/Web developer job I am currently doing. Things move on, for better or for worse. Admittedly for most of us, as automation increases, it will be interesting but scary times for us in the future, which is what this drama showed us very skillfully this evening. |

Meh, it obeys the prime directive of all successsful sci-fi series, have plenty of beautiful women on screen as much as possible.

Since society considers the non conscious synths to lack feelings and empathy then why would they be used as counsellors?
Does anyone know where the seaside resort is (where the café is)? I feel as if I should know it. |

You could tell the episode lacked tension. You start to pick holes in it, like how unbelievable this or that is. People not willing to suspend their disbelief for the sake of the story.

Surely I'm not the only one to conclude that Niska is up to no good somehow? Turning herself in? She's got something in mind here. Niska ain't stupid.

I found the councillor odd as it was a recognisable actress so didn't seem real. Enjoyed it otherwise and look forward to next week.
Gemma Chan (Mia) has been pretty busy in recent years (Brotherhood, Fresh Meat, Bedlam, Secret Diary of a Call Girl) and although not quite so well known, Emily Berrington (Niska) was in Inbetweeners 2, The White Queen, Outnumbered, 24:Live Another Day among others. Quote:
Enjoyed it, but the ad breaks started to drive me nuts. Seriously considering giving it up. Just getting into it and there's another sodding break! Argh!!!!!

- if it wasn't so incredibly difficult to believe that a robot could ever be so realistic that it could fool a lover. They can't even walk naturally and they're supposed to be warm to the touch, soft and wet in the right places, have a natural scent, look indistinguishable close up? Please.
*************************************************************************************************************** Reading through the last few pages of this thread it's apparent that some viewers are posting during the programme, i.e. before they know what's happening. That might explain why some people miss bits of the story or aren't sufficiently gripped by it. Me, I can only do one thing at a time, so it's lights down, headphones on, volume up and sit glued right to the end ... then talk about it! |

Record the series and edit out the breaks .. I always do that with commercial channel drama series.
![]() Fact is, there's still way too many ads these days, they've gone past the reasonable threshold at some point in the last few years. |

Watched the last series but turned this off at the eye-rollingly predictable lesbian scene in episode one. Have these scriptwriters really run so low on ideas or was it just a cheap thrill for the straight men watching?

In fairness, there was not really a "lesbian scene" to speak of. All left to the mind really, as it should be in an internet world where nudity on TV is absurd now.
Guessing the next romantic storyline will be between Anita and her cafe boss, doubt he will be put off by finding a charging point on her lower abdomen either. |

Lesbian scene? How did I miss that!
A robot is a robot, a pc for a brain. Not really straight or gay, even if there had been a "lesbian" scene. |
