The show started well, the future, new interesting technologies, Japanese culture, mystery and thriller... but at one point the concept changes. The story is supposed to be told from the eyes of Suzie and Mixxy as the main actors, but the story expands and spends a lot of time on background stories of other characters where it slowly starts to lose fun like at the start... but omg the ninth episode, is for children... little children... It's a shame a good idea was ruined, how it started could have been something special, this way it will be forgotten very quickly, and actors will have a harder time getting better roles because of a childish show.

P.s. The robot should have a dark mode on face/screen, how could Suzie sleep next to him when he is shining like cinema...

I guess Apple's strategy of releasing multiple episodes at the start of the season is a good one since it was the first couple of episodes that got me hooked. In the first 2-3 episodes, the tone was darkly funny, the mystery engaging, and the development of the relationship between Rashida Jones's character and the robot was interesting. After that, though, the show pretty much fell off of a cliff, devolving into inane subplots involving the Yakuza and spinning its wheels for several episodes with the plot going nowhere, the relationships taking a backseat, and the central mystery suddenly being ignored. It's too bad because there was a good show in here somewhere, but it seems to have gotten lost in effort to stretch things out over 10 episodes.

I love Sci fi and I love Rashida Jones but I can't figure this show out. I'm not sure what it's about after 3 episodes. The fact that 70% of it is in Japanese makes it even harder. Rashida Jones' job seems to be to stand there half slumped and speak in English to people speaking to her in Japanese. She doesn't have any drive or maybe it's the way she portrays it I get no sense of urgency or even fear or trepidation from her as she's trying to figure out what happened to her husband and son. The writing is really uneven. This makes me sad. I wanted to like it, it's just too obscure for me I guess.

This is a slow burn series, but you only get half way through the story as Apple has cancelled it.

I did enjoy the show, but it's a bit of a slow story line so it takes a bit of stamina to get into it. But when you do get to start enjoying the characters, and the funny humour of their interactions, you find the series ends and the story has only been half told.

This series cries out for a second season and I believe it would have been a great success if Apple had any foresight or courage. This could of become series people would talk about years from now.

But it seems they are like most other streaming services, only after a quick buck.

I thought the first 3 episodes were great, lots of mystique, interesting plot line and a broad spectre of characters. It was attention grabbing. But at some point it just took a turn in to a surreal japanese game show-esq story with no clear plot. It tries to explore moral questions but it quickly becomes flat and uninteresting. It fails to keep your attention, and although it has an interesting problem : can a robot (AI) have free will, an intriguing and relevant philosophical question, it fails to connect on an intelectual level. At a point I just stop caring about the protagonists or the problem in hand. Loads of potential but it just seems like the writers had no idea how to explore the plot in an interesting way. It's as if the Matrix turned in to a Disney cartoon midway...
