Have you seen Black Mirror? The series about the dark future of technology. I couldn't help but compare Patina to that show, it's dark but with a few crucial comical moments that place it as a dark comedy in my head. Music, acting, effects are all very competent. Spoiler moment ahead... My main frustration was the speed at which Alexa's fear of Patina happened. I mean yes, he's a damn creepy robot that you really wouldn't want serving your family, but her fear seems so sudden. I would have really like to see this grow and so she appears more paranoid. I guess that's the downside of a short.
In summary, it's well worth a watch. It's on streaming services and will take up about 10 minutes of your day. Give it a try.
