I enjoyed it. I'll give the series a 9 out of 10.

The best part of the whole thing.................... it made you think!

Not too many shows today have that quality.

P.S. Kodi is the bomb!
 
Really! I spent the greater part of yesterday and this morning watching season 1. WHERE IS SEASON 2!
 
I probably need to rewatch all of season 1 again. I'm sure there is a ton I missed.

Don't get excited. They're already saying it won't be out until sometime in 2018. They're not even going to TRY to stay on a one season per year schedule.
 
I think it's time to DL the classic movie and see if the family will enjoy it. They are not as accepting of older films as I am.

Concept is exactly the same, POV has switched. The cool thing is that it is a proper science fiction movie, which accurately predicted some things that have come to pass.
 
I'm sure back in the day the everyday person may have thought a computer "virus" as being a bit ludicrous, while computer experts were probably mostly laughing. Years later the experts have stopped laughing and the everyday people recognize a virus as not only possible, but actually very common!

Even the concept of computers building other computers is far from science fiction. It's been repeated in Sci-fi many times over the years, and is more or less a reality these days.

Anyway, I'm getting the old movie now. We'll see how the family accepts the offer to watch. I may have to re-watch it by myself. (Not the first time this has happened...)
 
I just finished episode 10. I really enjoyed the series, as did all of you, for the great writing. The characters are interesting and complex, there is thought provoking dialogue. While I very much enjoyed 10, I thought there was gratuitous violence, and a bit of silliness: When a robot goes bonkers and kills people, security doesn't arrest it. ("Drop your weapon!") Also the first twenty security guys killed never got off a shot, kind of cliche action stuff. Those are minor flaws in a great show.
I also wonder about the future. If any of these things escape, where will they go? Stop off at the Apple Store to recharge? And if Ford was trying to create beings of higher consciousness, he failed. So far he has only created psychopaths. Is the theory that a few hundred violent robots will conquer the world? They have the programming to survive on a 19th century movie set. Six guns and hatchets will not help against an air strike.
As above, I hope the series continues to a reasonable conclusion. I think The Walking Dead is past that point, the title now describes the production. I also thought that Person of Interest was a good series that outran it's outline, though the finale was good.
