I know Humans is a dead show with a very lacklustre final few seasons.
I have a lot of thoughts I want to share, I watch the original Swedish(?) production and there was some of the things I wish I brought over but I do think the British version is significantly better.
I do wish they had a default model, in the Swedish show they showed that there was a default model that was basically meant for manual labour that lacked a lot of capacity.
Also when the family were looking for answers in the original Swedish version they go back to the seller and they've got a model that has a life narrative, when they check it out they realise the life narrative is superficial and is near enough just like fanfiction.
The things I like about the British version is that there's a lot more talk about mods. Also Dr Milligan keeping his original D series synth is very interesting and accurate to how people treat rumbas. (I myself have a robot vacuum that I will die for even though it keeps eating my knickers)
Dr Mulligan is overall a very interesting character but his new synthetic feels very accurate to the healthcare assistant but also doesn't think he would have qualified for 24 hours support. I would see it be more accurate having a synth for maybe 12 hours a day and then the synth would go somewhere else, that's a very minor complaint though. I also feel bad for the GPs, imagine having to deal with hundreds of requests from synthetics asking if it's ok to move a bed. (I think the implication that the GPs are also synths)
I also find the addition of the pretend synth subculture very interesting. As someone who's definitely a little bit neurodivergent I never felt so seen, The idea is pretending to be a robot and not having to deal with conversations just doing what you need to do without having to partake in society sounds like a dream to me.
I do think the first season of this show is really amazing, there are some questionable moments but could be a lot worse.
