Robots go mental and investigators try to figure it out.
Great world building, but everything is monotone and it goes totally crazy most of the way through. It would have been better if it stayed grounded in its initial location as the world-building was great there. Ultimately disappointing.

Humanity has been infected by nanobots controlled by an AI that ends violence, which, although about as horrifying as it sounds, many people want it and some even work for it.
Slow and halting, but with a good premise. It leans heavily into acting, which isn’t at the level needed to make this shine. Still, it’s not a turd.
This would have made for an excellent pilot episode.

Corporate and terrorist factions fight over the technology to resurrect people shortly after death.
Even-toned from acting, to pace, to the subtleties of world-building; excellent.
Original title: (Czech) Bod obnovy

A satellite brings back a deadly pathogen which scientists desperately try to figure out a cure for.
It’s got that oldie feeling, but with enough of a timeless element to make it really riveting.
This inspired The Andromeda Strain – (2008 show)

An everyday man’s is kidnapped to make amends for past wrongs he couldn’t guess at.
I can see it was trying, but boy is it inconsistent action without real underlying substance.
A remake of Oldboy – (2003 movie)
