Anybody given this near future sci-fi show a shot? It's a world where robots are becoming increasingly indistinguishable from humans. The latest and greatest prototype breaks Asimov's rules for robots and goes on the lam. Meanwhile there is growing opposition to the bots from disenfranchised humans. It centers around a divorced dad fighting for custody of his children. I've watched the first 3 episodes (of 16) and it is intriguing enough to keep on, but it is moving a little slow. Hopefully the build up is worth the pay off.

I've been watching it dubbed and without subtitles. Normally I don't watch this way (Dark and Narcos I watch original language with subtitles), but I haven't had any issues with this dub.

I got 7-8 episodes in and it is still slow as hell.....I pretty much gave up on it....I might pick it back up after football season when entertainment gets slow again

Started off strong, but in all honesty, it was way too long, probably 6 or 7 episodes too much.

On another note, I’m a big fan of Paulina Andreeva, who plays Arisa in Better Than Us, and was in a better Russian series on Netflix called, The Method.

This one had potential, I liked the look and the near future tech like projection bracelets, but in the end it's just a family drama with near future robotgeddon as a setting. If you were interested in this you should give Humans on Amazon Prime a try. That's a pretty good exploration into the rise of sentient robots.

I'm 10 episodes in (out of 16 total). I like it. Lots of fine women, both android and human. I would say it's worth a shot if you like near-future sci-fi.
