Channel 4’s new drama next week looks quite inspiring. It’s
all about synthetic humans in the regular household; designed to complete
domestic tasks. It will be interesting to see just how much labour the machine
is asked to undertake. The robotic slave is the next step in our future for the
rich elite; but it is doubtful that the common man can afford one as what we
witness here. Perhaps that’s a reason for them to take over by making them so readily
available. Will the machines copy the humans by creating relationships of their
own; with either each other or other desperate humans? There’s a lot of ways in
which this storyline can move forward; the machines could just destroy our own
relationships or go further and annilate us for the domination of the planet.
It will also be interesting to witness Catherine Parkinson in a new domestic
role; her next major appearance since the IT crowd.
