“The premise was great, presenting the fear (both the realistic and the irrational) of AI in a very relatable manner. Similar to an evil overlords situation. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The settings leave something to be desired, like, “Hey, we’ve got a great plot, it’ll carry the show, bring life to the settings.” It didn’t. Even after umpteen scenes in the FBI office it still felt like any office in the ‘90s vibe and did not convey a convincing layout of the offices. I’ve listened to other serial podcasts that put me in the middle of the action, like a fly on the wall. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
The acting/directing. Or whoever thought having Ross hyperventilate all through 10 episodes would be a positive trait for the character. No! Nails on a blackboard. Good—not even great—drama should lead to at least some suspension of disbelief. The incessant breathing kept breaking the suspension. I can’t really blame the actor, he was otherwise convincing as hell. The director carries the blame for this. Hint: Less Is More. ⭐️⭐️”
