The acting and storytelling continues appalling as usual. Furthermore, consistency went through the roof.
Aelita (a dreadful character, not much better than Cherise or Lev), in less than ten seconds (1st episode), managed to transfer not only a key to the II quantum super computer but the entire amplituhedron to Flynne DNA via electromagnetic stimuli through the helmet. Couldn't be more silly. Oh, wait, judging by Westworld season 4 it really could.
Flynne goes to a location disclosed by Lowbeer in which it is possible to create and maintain information links to the past (parallel pasts). However, despite its importance, that facility is less guarded than the next door mall. All she needs is some awful jujitsu (and someone else retina, again - it is symbolic, we know) to get through. Future London confrontation is subsumed into hand to hand combat.
At last, as if it was not enough, Flynne sacrifices herself (ambiguous, the actual "death" is only implied - everything is nothing more than a mindless videogame by now) after creating a link to another parallel past.
Miraculously, "a" Flynne returns to Lowbeer in future London ready to battle Cherise and Lev and the dreadful Aelita. Which Flynne it is we do not know - couldn't be a parallel Flynne judging by the amount of time and number of episodes that took the original Flynne to grasp what she was doing.
Cherise has it coming, a multitude of parallel Flynne(s) eventually pitted against her mischievous intentions.
This first season seems like a painfully long sneak peak into some sort of story, a pageant of mostly unremarkable scenes, silly dialogs, and abusive use of technology concepts.
It is the kind of thing aimed at short attention spans and propensity to feel amazed. Nothing has to make sense or maintain a modicum of internal consistency. It is magic with the scent of sci-fi.
Worse, it is Westworld season 4 all over again.
Amazing how they managed to perform so badly.
Insufferable.
