This show tries hard to be emotional and smart, but completely fails on both accounts due to its embarrassingly unsophisticated treatment of the key themes and abysmal pacing. I am not exaggerating when saying that 30% of scenes and dialogues are re-used/repeated multiple times during the show. "Mysteries" are never satisfyingly resolved and everything feels extremely ad-hoc (including the characters' motivations). There is a important difference between mystery and confusion. It is unclear to me how this can have such good ratings, it's a really unsatisfying show, at least for an adult. With AI being such a topical theme (treated in much better ways in other shows, e.g. The recent Pantheon), all the praise for what is a very simplistic treatment of it is surprising to me.
