AI simple story

[Xavier_Stone · 5/10 · 26 May 2024]

This is an AI story that is about as simple and basic as one could get. Creating a city and then covering it in cameras and then having people move in and something goes wrong.

It shouldn't be that hard to figure out who dun it, and that's the simple mystery. Lots and lots of video camera work that is added unnecessarily and super close ups are overall distracting.

It's not entirely bad, but it's not really good either, hence the middle of the road rating. I won't be watching more as it's fairly bland. I'm sure there will be some twists along the way but I don't find it that interesting. There's just going to be more and more videos shown of closed circuit cameras recording everything to creep everyone out. 5/10, some ok parts but mostly not interesting to continue.

Reasonable series

I watched it all within a thirty six hour period. One thing I'll say right away is that I'm going slightly deaf and I tend not to watch programmes where people are using English as a second language because I often can't decipher what they're saying because of the accents. There was no problem here at all. All the actors and actresses spoke good, clear English. In addition there were subtitles even for the English dialogue.

The idea here was intriguing, a crime-free model city founded on the basis of twenty four/seven surveillance of everyone everywhere even in citizens' lavatories but with ironclad safeguards.

The other theme was that the idealistic founding principles were tainted by a terrible event in the past, parts of which had been covered up. The very founder of the concept had hidden away knowledge about a crime that had led to the project's inauguration.

The sixth and final episode (IMDb has got it wrong) leaves us to contemplate the possible unravelling of the idea as blue lights are seen outside the miscreant's home. Can Concordia sustain itself in light of the shock? We are left to wonder. I'm glad I saw this through to the end. It was interesting enough to do so.
