Science fiction doesn't show the future, it shows the expectations of the current society. In the 50-60's we dreamt of reaching the stars so the space-opera was born, in the 80's with the rise of computers we saw the rise of cyberpunk. In these days SF usually addresses the fear of our society that we simply can't handle the technology of the future. Not that it overtakes us but simply that we as people aren't able to oversee the options and mainly the consequences what technology will do to our society.
Advantageous takes one of these aspects where technology allows us to switch bodies. But the impact of that, the consequences to ourselves and our environment is much larger than expected.
Advantageous does a descent job adressing it, but it however fails to get any depth. With 1h30m it simply takes to few time to work out all relations and characters and tries to squeeze in too much on the side. That is a pitty because the rest of the setting, like actors/dialogues, etc are charming and interresting. As mini-series it would prosbably have worked better.
