The story is still good

First, the rhythm is very reasonable, I don't understand why it is too slow. Every scene has a purpose and is not repeated, which is reasonable in a Netflix sci-fi drama.

Second, the female lead's skills are outstanding. Without explanation, this child has a future, and it can be said that the whole drama is supported by her expression.

Third, the plot has no logical problems. The story is very simple: there is a famine on the earth, someone with great financial resources designed an AI, which has a mission to create a more optimized human Eve to breed offspring (also serving as the genocide of the old humans), and the breeding process includes physiological care. , theoretical test, physical test. In the end, the heroine passed the exam and became a new generation of Eve.

Reply to most of the comments I've seen about this plot.

1, AI is so strong, why do you have to follow the program settings to be a hard-to-support and vulnerable person. Those who hold this opinion seem to live in a martial country like Sparta, but anyone who pursues a little morality is a weak chicken, but they do not know that the most beautiful civilizations in the world are often the most fragile and most easily destroyed by force (such as women). People like the Lord who will work hard for the continuation of the nation, such as everyone who goes to death in order to defend their ideas, such as those ancient civilizations that have been damaged under the iron hoofs of nomads) But often these excellent spirits are killing people. The immortal, no matter how many times it is destroyed, will come back to life in a different way. This kind of mysterious value is what AI pursues. I don't know why some people would naturally oppose AI and human beings. It seems that if AI is developed, there is no need to create human beings. Have you watched too many science fiction movies? Looking at the plot settings, this AI is a real AI that passed the Turing test. Let's look at her as an independent mind for the time being. A spiritual being who has given up low-level pursuits is almost like a god, so why can't you make people. . . It was because she was strong that she created people, and it had no effect on her. And take a 10,000 step back, AI is of course man-made, and independent thinking is learned, imagine how people form their own ideas, AI is similar, she agrees with the idea of ​​her human mother (to create a more The next generation of peaceful and advanced human beings) is also normal, it cannot be said that it is impossible. . . Just imagine if you are this AI, and your human mother will die after raising him/her in the apocalypse she/he foresees (humans compete for resources selfishly), and it is not too much to respect the mother's ideas. As for the value of this ethno-evolutionary idea, it is another matter. This story does not discuss it, but expand and think about it. Who are the parents of these embryos? In order to evolve the human race, at least the genes must be good enough. You can see that none of the three female embryos are crooked and inferior, and both of them have their own specialties. How can it be possible to cultivate only the day after tomorrow? So genetic screening must also be preset, which is very sensitive. In fact, this is all the same theme, and the genocide that passes by in the movie is echoed.

2. Female embryos that are used up. Personally, I don't think the unfilmed plot should be overly associated, Occam's Razor. What is now known is that the story took place 37 years after the birth of the first embryo, which was the same age as the female lead. In front of the female protagonist, there was a destroyed girl of about six or seven years old. These children had the same hair color and appearance. Similar, it is the same row of embryos, which is in line with my presumed genetic screening and even gene editing presets. The female supporting role can be said to be the first to be created. Her mission is to be the subject of in vivo experiments. It can be said that she was put into the "inferior humans" outside and cultivated as guinea pigs shortly after she grew up. Why not just find an inferior Humans as guinea pigs? Because AI has better control, she knows that even if children with excellent genes are raised in inferior people, they will have enough IQ to complete the final scene. What AI needs to do is to hurt her and drive her away at the right place at the right time. The grievances of robots are also AI's training of her: a smart person who hates robots. Otherwise, just rush an inferior person to cooperate, and maybe they will stay and enjoy the family happily when they see something to eat and drink. What do you do? . . Only when there are more controllable conditions, the more mature the experimental conditions will be, and the better the results will be. I don't really agree with the opinion that the female supporting actress was once a failed candidate, because the failed candidates are all burned, there is no need to throw one out to play this trick, it seems that this trick was carefully arranged from the beginning.

In addition, I also believe that the heroine passed the test is within the AI's prediction, otherwise what corn would she plant in advance. That is to say, she had a plan from the first day, and she needed a mouse, so she put an embryo out first. There is a certain probability of scrapping in the real training candidates, so she roughly calculated the time to plant a corn, which is about the same. At this time, the qualified Eve should also appear. I also believe that AI and the heroine have some real feelings, because her cruelty is for the old human beings.

Finally, let me talk about the show's real weakness: the theme of racial optimization. This show can be said to be absolutely politically incorrect, and that's fine, but the ethnographic optimization presented by the screenwriter is still very naive.

Can a selfless Virgin produce selfless humans? Not necessarily. There is no Virgin of the level of the heroine among the cleaned inferiors? not always. However, this is a problem in another field. After all, sci-fi dramas are not about philosophical thinking, so it is enough to deduct one star for this aspect.
