MrBling posted:In this (pretty good) article http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2016/10/sympathy-for-the-robot/497531/ the author mentions having seen the first three episodes, so reviewers probably all got those. I guess it's screener time, according to online the first episodes will be out in October.

dont even fink about it posted:That's a very good number for HBO, roughly as good as True Detective s1 and as good as the end of the first season of Game of Thrones. It doesn't hurt that it was a fantastic show and should retain that number easily. I hope the numbers stay strong, this is a really unique show. Really loved the unsettling Ex Machina vibe

Professor Shark posted:One of the first things my girlfriend said when watching this show was "You can always tell it's an HBO show because of the credits!" You can tell it's HBO because it had a plethora of dicks and boobs.

I think it's pretty much intentional that the actual humans on the show seem to be pretty miserable broken people compared to the hosts.

Poppyseed Poundcake posted:I hope HBO give blacklivesmatter credit where credit is due. The way guests treat the hosts is so obviously an allegory for the way cops treat black people. But probably not as HBO makes the one black character in the show a hooker rather than an hero. I'm pretty disgusted with how they've handled the race issue so far. This is such a original interpretation on the show.

mng posted:I want a bonus episode showing the maintenance and host retrieval side of things. Gathering murdered hosts together, throwing them in a big tent for hose down, and then off to maintenance where they sloppily dig bullets out all day while they bitch about being overworked. Could be like a messed up version of Scrubs.

JossiRossi posted:I think people might be reading a little too much into the line about Humanity curing everything. That doesn't mean effective immortality. It might not have even meant the literal eradication or ability to cure all disease. Ford was talking about how Humanity has stagnated in terms of progressing as a whole. At the time, I thought it meant that he felt Robots would be the next big thing to have a shot at progress. Now, I feel he might have felt that way about himself. In many ways Ford has much in common with that techie weirdo from Ex Machina.
