It's slow moving for a point. to get lots of series out of one idea.

The pointless actions are sex scenes in most US series. In this one, it's to show why the robots are malfunctioning and doing it again and again. We know they're retaining memories. Not wiping the RAM and Harddrive to take out all memories, is stupid.

The story line is too narrow, so they keep repeating it.

The problem is they're trying to make us feel sorry for machines without making them really vulnerable.

And there's no payback. Because once that happens Series 2 is out of the question. Or just like TWD endless killings and going nowhere.

If you want to watch a good Robots v Humans series. Watch the UK series Humans.
