Omega Hunter posted...I only saw the first season and I gave up on the show because the storytelling seemed like it was purposefully convoluted. That and I can't care about a robot no matter how much you try and make it simulate a real human. The moment I know it's a robot I will never play into a storyline of bad guys raping robots, you cant rape a robot, its a technologically advanced sex toy. Its, on the surface level, about an Old West theme park where theyve successfully made androids that are believable and lifelike enough that you can truly live out whatever fantasy you want. They all have programmed narratives but can live or die or go slightly off script with a certain range, and the guests can do whatever they want (the androids physically cannot hurt the human guests). Once an android dies, theyre taken backstage, fixed up, rebooted, and it continues. Some guests just wanna play cowboy and some are true sickos. Theres a lot more going on than that, but the surface level is are there moral ramifications for subjecting artificial life to the whims of guests ad infinitum?
