The robots in this series sweat, cry, groan, shake with fear, gasp for breath, get tired, and even get blood-shot eyes.
Sometimes I think it's a deliberate joke, such as when trigger, who has no mouth, puffed air through a tube until he complained of getting dizzy.
A series with a premise like this, with robots at the heart of the story really needed a serious examination of what robots are and are not to allow a treatment of their relationship with humans and humanity. Instead we gets robots in name only who act human in every way. The only robot-like act was in Honi's final scene, when he claimed his program necessitated the actions he took. His reasoning made no sense, though, so I won't give the series any credit for that.
Even if they were deliberately making jokes, the premise deserved better than that and I would suspect the human was merely a cover for incompetence and/or laziness in failing to do it right. |
