Like everything from the duo of Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij, this series has a healthy dose of social relevance and emotion. Artificial Intelligence, Global Warming, the potential for subjugation of women by powerful men and more I'm sure. Emma Corrin is brilliant as Darby, intelligent and emotional components of the character come across well. The Andy Ronson character is an amalgam of tech billionaires: an Elon Musk in scope of achievement, a Steve Jobs in vision and design.
The spoiler I'll offer is that this series reminds me very much of a 1956 movie, Forbidden Planet in a way that will be apparent to those who have seen both. The adversary in both is the union of human and machine resulting in what the original movie called, "Monsters of the id".
