Wonder if it's more popular outside the U.S.?Only place I've even heard about this show is here. Seems like it's a pretty good show.
The show is Channel 4's highest rated drama since the 1992 programme The Camomile Lawn. It has been described as having "universal appeal" and as being "one of 2015's dramatic hits." The show has been described as "a bit dystopian and Black Mirror-esque." The actors have been praised for their performances, but some critics have said the story is "conceptually ... old hat" and "wasn't breaking any new ground philosophically."
Unless something uncharacteristically terrible happens in the finale, that's fantastic news. I look forward to this show every week, and I'm already dreading not having it around.
I'm not sure, I was kind of disappointed. I get the feeling that they rewrote the last couple of episodes because the producers realized, "oh shit, this is actually doing well ratings-wise. We'll get another season!" and decided to string the story out. The season should have ended with all synths gaining consciousness (because that's what they were clearly building up to), but since they got OK'd for another season, the writers decided to have the characters "think about it some more" before doing so.Strangely satisfying conclusion to the season
