Better Than Us (humans)

Watching Better Than Us, or Better Than Humans, that is, Лучше, чем люди in Russian. Nowadays it seems to me that it’s rather easy to be better than humans: it is enough not to be humans. Hence, even a robot can be better, even if it’s the dumb, basic one.

As all TV shows, this one too needs to inject splinters of stupidity and inexplicable blindness into the characters in order to build suspense, sort of, and to avoid that plots and counter-plots get uncovered too soon, making the show shorter by reducing the amount of maybe-possible scenes.

Like the following spoiler — possible spoiler alert for those who are enjoying the show from the beginning: maybe it’s better you don’t read this.
