This is a new British show on AMC. I am fascinated by the premise, so I gave the premier a try. So far so good.
Basically robots are created to do all the manual labor in society. Including being 24/7 house maids, chefs, nannies etc. They are not supposed to have a subconscious, ability to think or feel or question humans, but an early protagonist gives some of them these traits.
This concept frightens me because what happens when this becomes a reality, and it will be a reality? This is automation at it's fullest. How will people make a living? What happens if they become smart and revolt ( Aka I robot, terminator etc)? Why seek a mate, when you can create a gorgeous female (or male) and program her to have the exact personality traits you desire, in love, sympathy, deviation and loyalty?
This show appears to explore these topics.
