You are being watched. The government has a secret system, a machine that spies on you every hour of every day. I designed the machine to detect acts of terror, but it sees everything. Violent crimes involving ordinary people. The government considers these people "irrelevant". We don't. Hunted by the authorities, we work in secret. You'll never find us. But victim or perpetrator, if your number's up... we'll find you.
Who remembers and misses this outstanding show? Will we ever enjoy the like again? It's still so actual in these AI days.
It was phenomenally good while the authors avoided succumbing to the unimaginatice "the enemy must be basically us in the mirror". Asymmetric = good.
Agree. I didn't like the bit where the Machine went
