Better Than Us — Season 1

Critics Reviews

Brad Newsome Sydney Morning Herald It's all handsomely, thoughtfully made, and well worth checking out. Sep 18, 2019 Full Review Hannah Brown Jerusalem Post It uses a police procedural format, plus a look at a detective's troubled family, to tell a tale of corruption and greed that is about humanity as much as it's about robots. Nov 15, 2019 Full Review Richard Yu Cinema Escapist [Better Than Us] offers a more hopeful view of a society where robots augment and supplement humanity, rather than simply coming in conflict with or replacing it Sep 9, 2019 Full Review John Boland Irish Independent I've watched two episodes, which aren't without their implausibilities, but the storyline is intriguing and the little girl who plays Sonya is terrific. Aug 26, 2019 Full Review Brett White Decider While there are a lot of robot/meaning-of-sentience-driven sci-fi stories you can already stream on Netflix, Better Than Us stands just apart enough to justify its existence.
